Abstract
Proliferation in the growth and use of new technologies is making radical changes to our society and generating a major change in human behaviour. Accelerated production of e-technologies is creating not only new exciting advances but also a darker side where there are major issues of sustainability. Owing to the exponential growth in the development of new e-technologies and mobile devices, the demand for new upgrades has created a bottomless cavern for excessive waste.
