If this is the case and the future of our planet is in our hands, surely we should stop producing resource-heavy components if we have resource-light alternatives? Especially considering that we can achieve far greater capacities in SSD than HDD?
I guess these kind of initiatives will end up costing some fat-cats a great deal (ie the disposal of whole infrastructures already in place for HDD manufacture), and potentially more job losses. I can't imagine an SSD requiring anywhere near the hands required to assemble a HDD.
I'm just throwing this out there for thought provocation, not nerve provocation.
Is my thinking wrong?
