Chapter 7

Well today I read chapter 7 of Garbology by Edward Humes , it was titled The Trash Trackere, this chapter was very interesting , well to me atleast. This chapter started out asking some questions that really made me think, " What would happen if your trash could talk?, what would happen if all thw stuff we buy, use and ultimately throw away- a carton of milk, a computer keyboard,  a case of beer , a color TV- could be aware of its surroundings and stream tha5 information to us, forming a vast network of objects, a kind of Internet of stuff."  This really caught my attention because it made me thing of what would really happen what wouod we find out if this was to happen? As I continued to read it tured out that people have actually began tracking trash. SENSEable City Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,  inspired by Sterling's vision, decided to create smart trash ( Humes 146) . They put something like a tracking devise on pieces of trash, and this would track the trash, some trash appeared like a mile away from where it originally came from. This chapter was very interesting.
