| '''e-waste''' (never spelled with a capital E) is [[waste]] from [[electronics]]. It is often [[toxic waste]]. Also some types of electronics like [[cell phone]]s are thrown away on average once a year. Many projects focus on [[electronics re-use]] and [[electronics recycling]], and [[electronics standards]] to minimize [[obsolescence]]. Such choices as [[Java]] as the programming language could be affected as they require more hardware. Recognizing what are not real [[hardware requirements]] is critical to any [[healthy signal infrastructure]] - ideal minimal infrastructure is in effect already installed, already there, and requires no new [[tantallum]].
