This video is describing what happens to our technological waste. It shows one particular town in China that the "recycled" e-waste gets sent to, and the effects of that e-waste on the population.
I agree with the article Danielle posted. Negative impacts of technology on children are not always so straight forward. A MAJOR indirect impact is how detached children have become from direct social contact. Children and tweens are so used to texting/tweeting that they often find it difficult to have an actual conversation with someone.
