The last word in geek chic

Article Abstract:

Some observers believe that wearable computing is at the leading edge of computing research. The largest financed wearable computing project implemented so far is the Land Warrior programme, under which the US Army aims to use computers to boost the effectiveness of its soldiers in the 21st century. Extensive research into wearable computing has also been undertaken at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab, where developments include the Startlecam, a camera which automatically records and transmits when physiological responses are reacting to frightening events.

Some manufacturers will take back obsolete equipment, and some offer part-exchange deals. There is also high demand from charities for relatively new computers, printers and faxes.

This company now receives payment from others wishing to dispose of old equipment, and it handles around 100 tons a month of circuit boards.
