A WOW Geography interactive from the Guardian exploring the positive and negative impacts of smartphones. Students can analyse the different components that make up of their phone, where they come from and see the impact on our environment from mining for the precious metals that make up a smartphone. On the other hand how the positive improvements in food production, responding to disasters and health are outlined. This is a resource that just keeps giving and covers a broad range of Geographical topics from sustainability, economic Geography, inequality and exploitation. A must for all Geography teachers and students. How sustainable is your smartphone
