The other day while shopping in Coles, I watched the masked faithful come into the store and do the QR ritual with their smart phones. Me, I don’t have a mobile phone at all, only the old landline, and apparently one can’t take that with you to do the tracking magic that allows one to avoid the – what is it now - $1,000,000,000 fine? Anyway I then started thinking about what happens to these smart phones when they die in say a year or two from planned obsolesce? Why, they become a big pollution hazard of course.
