Computer users has grown in recent years. In fact, the number of computers currently estimated to have penetrated a 1 billion units.
Calculated according to Gartner analyst institutions. Each year, Gartner predicts the development of the number of PCs in the world reached about 12 percent.
And if these numbers continue, then in the year 2014 the number of PCs is estimated to be spread jumped to 2 billion units. It was a fantastic amount.
Luis Anavitarte, vice president of Gartner said, developing countries will take more roles in the surge of this PC.
"Moreover, governments in many developing countries have committed to minimize the digital divide by promoting more use of PCs to their people, including the layer of lower-class society," he added.
On the one hand, increase in the number of circulating PC can indeed be a positive means of equitable use of technology, but on the other side to consider is the balance of the amount of recycled PCs. Because, if only a waste, electronic equipment is feared will be a waste even be harmful to the environment.
Gartner's own estimates that more than 180 million PCs will be 'removed' owner to be replaced with new ones this year. So you can imagine how much electronic waste that would result if the device is not recycled.
