Description

Greening the Media: A Critical Examination of Information and Communication Technologies. This book challenges the notion that information and communication technologies are environmentally benign. Maxwell and Miller reveal the dirty secrets behind our beloved electronics, exposing toxic ingredients, hazardous waste, and poor working conditions. By examining the physical reality of making, consuming, and discarding these gadgets, they argue for a more sustainable approach to media production. The authors enlist a range of perspectives to foster greener media, from green consumers to exploited workers and celebrities. They rethink the status of print and screen technologies, opening new lines of historical and social analysis. This original book is for anyone interested in understanding how their high-tech gadgets are made, by whom, where, and under what conditions.
