The ramifications of digital dumping are being investigated as evidence emerges that more advantaged countries are dumping (exporting) tons of digital waste (e-waste) into less advantaged countries such as Africa, Asia, India and others, especially since circuit boards, smart phones and computer screens contain copper, gold, zinc, beryllium, and tantalum, lead based coatings and lithium batteries; the health effects of digital dumping are a major concern as is the pollution impact on the environment. In terms of social media digital dumping, the ramifications to psycho-social and mental health are a growing concern in relation to the suicide risks of bullying across digital channels; brands must also remain vigilant bout digital dumping from ex-employees or disgruntled consumers.

Double Digit Inflation

Inflation that reaches over two digits in percentage. Just like 1974-1975 and 1979-1981 era.

Generally causes a lot of stress and disorder. History shows crime tends to skyrocket during this time because lots of people are confused and repressed and don’t know what to do and end up losing their minds.

I wonder if 2023 will feature double digit inflation, all over again.
