摘要

Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki thinks the technology sector has yet to come to grips with the amount of waste it produces.rnSuzuki acknowledges the important role that technology plays in spreading his message of greener living to the masses, but, he said, "IT has also has been a real problem in terms of cyber-junk and all the stuff that's out there."rnCustomers purchasing products are continually tempted to upgrade to the next bigger and better iteration that is just around the corner, said Suzuki. "When you start looking at the turnover because of Moore's Law, there's always a better one... and you're lusting for more," he said. Suzuki spoke to an audience at the Earth Friendly IT Event, hosted by Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) Corp., a storage provider that offers green technologies for data centres.
