Ezekiel 16:49
King James Version
49 Behold,
this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom,
pride,
fulness of bread,
and abundance of idleness was in her
and in her daughters,
neither did she strengthen the hand
of the poor and needy.
For the longest time, I've been wondering what happens to our electronic waste.
You know, old TVs, computers, cellphones, printers, scanners, cameras, and other electronic gadgets.
I live in a third world country, and I've observed shops buy these.
To be re-sold, or they take out reusable parts, and pieces.
If it's a collector's item, it gets a high price.
The rest are thrown, given away, or sold for whatever price.
But my country has gotten spoiled, too.
Now, they also don't want old stuff.
Everyone wants the latest gadget.
The marketers have really worked on the young.
So, I wonder what happens to unwanted electronic gadgets.
Can the world sustain all our junk?

Thank GOD for the creativity of some entrepreneurs.
Who always find a use for other people's junk.
But I still think, at the rate we're going, junking everything still usable, and buying new cars, or gadgets, first chance a new model comes out, maybe these organizations may not be able to keep up.
Everyone wants faster, more powerful gadgets.
"Toys" as they would call it.
There was a time man did just fine, without all these electronic stuff.
Let's just not be addicted to things of the world.
Let's focus on JESUS instead.
Colossians 3:1-2
King James Version
3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
