The World Telecom & Information Society day is a day for
the ICT Industry to ponder over its past performance, as
also to look forward to future prospects in line with the
evolving society and technological advancements. As a
responsible corporate citizen, Multi-Tech Systems welcomes
the theme of WTISD 2010, titled; “Better City, better life with
ICTs.”
No doubt that Info-communication Technology has
accelerated growth in almost every sphere of activity and
facilitated the teeming millions of this planet in a big way. It
also has the potential of addressing environmental issues in
an effective manner and on a grand scale. But ICT also has
its share of negative fallout. For one, the world is being
littered every year with millions of tons of discarded PCs,
handsets, printers, monitors, etc. The heaps of this silicon
hell harbor hazardous elements which pose serious threat to
environment if not recycled or disposed off in a responsible
manner. The electronic waste is being produced at a fast
pace as new technology replaces the old one in a short
time. Resultantly, the facilities to dispose off discarded
gadgets are inadequate even in the highly developed
countries, what to speak of the developing world.
While employing ICTs to facilitate ‘Better City,’ it is equally
important to also address the issue of silicon waste which is
directly causing environmental degradation on a massive
scale. As a provider of cutting-edge IT & Telecom solutions
and services, MTS is at the leading edge of technology and
fully alive to the gravity of the situation. On our part, we
implement ICT solutions in total compliance to industry best
practices and with a keen eye on the impact of technology
on the environment.
