Just have
a look at the speed with which new, unbelievable powerful mobile phones are
arriving.
1. Chinese
company OnePlus is hosting a launch event on October 29 in
India (and other countries) where it will - in all probability- take the wraps
off its new affordable Mini device, touted as the OnePlus X. The OnePlus X
is expected to be a Mini variant of the OnePlus 2, and will therefore carry a
lower price tag in comparison. There have been numerous rumours around this
aspect of the OnePlus X.
2. Microsoft
is all set to launch its recently announced Lumia 950
and Lumia 950 XL Windows 10 smartphones in India in the month of November. The
company is planning to bring the Lumia 950 smartphone to India at a price of Rs
38,000, while the Lumia 950 XL will be carrying a price tag of Rs 43,000,
approximately.
3. Nintendo announced the first smartphone -
game, developed in partnership with mobile service company DeNA ,
will be an app called Miitomo, which will allow users to create Mii characters
and exchange facts about themselves with other players. Of course, it requires
advanced mobile phones and fast processing units.
Well, if they continue like this, very soon our 2 years old mobile
phones will become... waste! And I am sure that this will be the case, as
the speed of the third industrial revolution is
getting higher and the pace of change in certain industrial sectors,
IT and mobile phones are certainly two of them, will get faster and
faster.
This is why I insist that we have to be ready for a more radical transformation: the term waste, very soon, will be completely redefined as a result of the third industrial revolution - this video at the beginning of the post, from a recent key-note I delivered in Buenos Aires, explains why.
As most of my readers already know, my passion is to bring recycling and waste management at the forefront of the global agenda - I want to make it as trendy as it is to speak about New York Fashion Week (although sometimes this is really ridiculous) with designers like Vera Wang, Coach, Oscar de la Renta, Rodarte and Tory Barch. I believe the key to such an effort is the content. So, I made a short but necessary break to write about my report "Wasted Health: the tragic case of dumpsites" and now I am back to complete the list of the trends that will reshape waste management and recycling.
Well, up to now I have described 4 trends (out of the ten) that will reshape the future of recycling and waste management - namely
Get prepared - the following video highlights what's coming to my next blogs and also what has been already addressed - it also gives an idea of the content of my upcoming paper and presentation on the future of waste management and recycling.
