:00:00. > :00:11.the smart phone and skirt, but now, it is time for Click. -- smart phone
:00:12. > :00:15.skirt. When the boss told me he
:00:16. > :00:17.accidentally put my expenses in his recycle bin, I thought he meant that
:00:18. > :00:36.one on his desktop. This week's Click is a load of
:00:37. > :00:41.rubbish, but one well worth watching. We will find out what
:00:42. > :00:45.happens to our tech when we throw it away, and how new laws might prevent
:00:46. > :00:51.it ending up in the wrong hands. And, what if your device is broken
:00:52. > :00:55.and battered, but not dead? It is possible to fix it, and we will show
:00:56. > :01:02.you how. We will also clear up after ourselves after putting the latest
:01:03. > :01:06.robot vacuum cleaners to the test. And, the most outrageous piece of
:01:07. > :01:10.wearable tech I think I have ever seen, and a way to find out what is
:01:11. > :01:15.being said about you, yes you, online.
:01:16. > :01:22.Welcome to Click, I'm Spencer Kelly. A lot of the time on this programme
:01:23. > :01:27.we talk about bright, shiny, new gadgets. For every new piece of
:01:28. > :01:31.technology there is, have you ever wondered what happens to the old,
:01:32. > :01:39.obsolete and broken down versions? Well, a lot of them will end up in
:01:40. > :01:48.places like this. A recycling centre in Wales. And when I see a lot of
:01:49. > :01:52.it, I mean an awful lot. Here, at Sims recycling solutions, a whole
:01:53. > :01:55.host of different tools and methods, like electromagnets, water
:01:56. > :01:58.separation, and good old-fashioned humans, are used to separate and
:01:59. > :02:04.salvage different metals and hazardous materials. The rest is
:02:05. > :02:10.then recycled. It can deal with up to 75,000 tonnes of the waste every
:02:11. > :02:15.year. That is a significant chunk of the 1.3 million tonnes reduced every
:02:16. > :02:23.year in the UK. That is 21 kilograms per person. Guess what, that number
:02:24. > :02:29.is rising. In 2012, the planet generated nearly 49 million tonnes
:02:30. > :02:34.of e-waste. By 2017, that figure is expected to rise to around 65
:02:35. > :02:40.million tonnes, per year. E-waste is clearly a growing problem. New EU
:02:41. > :02:43.laws introduced on the 14th of February now force countries to
:02:44. > :02:48.recycle at least 45% of their e-waste. And make it more difficult
:02:49. > :02:53.to exported illegally to the developing world. At the moment, a
:02:54. > :02:57.significant amount of this guff ends up in Southeast Asia and West
:02:58. > :03:04.Africa, to be picked apart by workers, often children, in truly
:03:05. > :03:13.dangerous conditions. David Reid picks up the Trail of this illegal
:03:14. > :03:17.waste in Ghana. Recycling West Africa style.
:03:18. > :03:26.Consumer electronics smashed, sorted and valuable metals extracted. This
:03:27. > :03:30.is where technology goes to die. Workers here are smelting, feeding
:03:31. > :03:34.fires with TV casings and fridge interiors, a heat fierce enough to
:03:35. > :03:44.burn the installation of electrical cables. When I'm doing this I'm
:03:45. > :03:50.looking for copper. A fingertip search through the ashes clean
:03:51. > :04:00.scraps of metal that are then sold on. Take-home pay, between five and
:04:01. > :04:06.7 euros. The men and boys working here, and a range between 13 and 35
:04:07. > :04:11.years old, are not from Acra, they came from the north of the country
:04:12. > :04:19.on a gold rush, promised riches from waste. They turned out to be a
:04:20. > :04:34.pittance, and the gold turned out to be lead, cadmium, and other heavy
:04:35. > :04:41.metals, lodged in their bodies. Unless you get some medicine, it
:04:42. > :04:44.will stay in your body. This boy is just 17 years old, taking medicine
:04:45. > :04:48.to work in an environment so toxic, that even some of the boys he
:04:49. > :04:55.refused to touch the river running through the site. You can see the
:04:56. > :05:06.smoke, also. It is also travelling. Any place that it deposits this
:05:07. > :05:15.heavy metals, the soil itself you can see is hugely contaminated. Time
:05:16. > :05:21.to leave this place and head to the atomic energy commission. The lab
:05:22. > :05:29.has performed a battery of tests on soil from the site. They found
:05:30. > :05:33.cadmium 30 times over acceptable levels, that can cause cancer,
:05:34. > :05:37.kidney failure, bone disease. Levels of lead, which attacks the nervous
:05:38. > :05:45.system, topped 100 times the recommended maximum dose. I would
:05:46. > :05:48.not advise anybody to live there. This place has been classified as
:05:49. > :05:56.one of the most contaminated sites in the world. The processing here is
:05:57. > :06:04.fed by the illegal traffic of e-waste into Ghana. Today, used TVs
:06:05. > :06:09.from Australia and Spain are being loaded onto waiting trucks. There is
:06:10. > :06:13.nothing wrong with importing used technology if it works, but if it
:06:14. > :06:23.doesn't it is hazardous e-waste that shouldn't be here. How many of these
:06:24. > :06:37.TVs actually work? 99% are working. 100%? How big is 1%? Ghana is
:06:38. > :06:40.working on legislation to prevent illegal e-waste imports, but it is
:06:41. > :06:51.taking time, as legislators don't want to curb the legitimate trade in
:06:52. > :06:58.second-hand tack. The drafters are seeking to ensure that they don't
:06:59. > :07:04.end up preventing the viable trade in used electronic equipment. In the
:07:05. > :07:09.meantime, young men and boys will continue to stoke the fires, and pay
:07:10. > :07:19.a heavy price with their health, foreign handful of change.
:07:20. > :07:27.One of the obstacles to stemming this tide of e-waste is us.
:07:28. > :07:31.Consumers are almost demanding -- always demanding sleeker and smaller
:07:32. > :07:40.bits of kit, and then this happens. Whether it is drop it, knock each,
:07:41. > :07:43.or any other kind of damage, smart phone screens can break
:07:44. > :07:48.spectacularly. We asked you to send us your shots of your damage staff,
:07:49. > :07:56.and thank you very much. These are some very sorry sites. As it
:07:57. > :08:00.happens, LJ Rich recently managed to break the screen of her iPad too.
:08:01. > :08:08.She didn't throw it away, she didn't get it fixed, she decided to fix it
:08:09. > :08:14.herself. It is the worst feeling in the
:08:15. > :08:21.world. As well as the inconvenience, Apple told me this would cost me
:08:22. > :08:25.?200 to sort out. That is loads! Time to call my old friends, the
:08:26. > :08:31.restart project, to see if I could do it myself. These fixes hold
:08:32. > :08:36.events to help people do exactly that. Since we met last year, the
:08:37. > :08:39.movement has expanded to over 40 countries. I settled in at an event
:08:40. > :08:44.in London with a much cheaper replacement screen. Clearly, I'm not
:08:45. > :08:48.going into this completely dry. I have done a lot of research online,
:08:49. > :08:56.red tutorial videos, and read through how to do it. The next step
:08:57. > :08:58.is going from theory to practise. Before we start, some warnings. If
:08:59. > :09:02.you think you are covered by a warranty, you will probably want to
:09:03. > :09:06.take your broken gadgets back to where you bought them. And, there is
:09:07. > :09:11.always the potential for broken glass and electric shocks, but might
:09:12. > :09:20.iPad is ancient. I have done my prep, and one of the restart as is
:09:21. > :09:26.keeping an eye on me. Are used tape to collect broken glass fragments,
:09:27. > :09:29.and a chopping board to protect the table from the heat gun. The heat
:09:30. > :09:35.gun softens the adhesive that sticks a class together. Once it was
:09:36. > :09:40.offered, I used plastic and metal implements to prise open my gadget.
:09:41. > :09:47.Basically, the idea is to blast it with a lot more heat than I first
:09:48. > :09:56.thought. A lot more! Then, get in there and leave! It is a
:09:57. > :10:00.commendation of brute force and delicate touch. I have drawn a crowd
:10:01. > :10:09.because my repair is so complex. Plus, who wouldn't want to see the
:10:10. > :10:17.inside of an iPad? Wow! I've done it! Stuff is getting more difficult
:10:18. > :10:22.to open, and we are seeing that at the events we are posting. People
:10:23. > :10:29.always read up on Apple, but the point is that everything is becoming
:10:30. > :10:35.more difficult to open. Then I undid four small screws and lifted the
:10:36. > :10:41.screen to reach the touchscreen connector behind it. I got prepared
:10:42. > :10:46.to do it all again, but this time backwards. At the end of the night,
:10:47. > :10:49.might iPad worked, almost. I had severed the GPS antenna when I
:10:50. > :10:54.remove the glass cover. It is really that easy to botch your own repair.
:10:55. > :10:59.Back to the internet for what looks like an even more complex fix. The
:11:00. > :11:05.instructions you find online are great. But, there are also those
:11:06. > :11:09.little tricks that you need to know to get it right. If anyone is
:11:10. > :11:14.thinking about repairing their device, have a look online, and make
:11:15. > :11:20.sure you are confident with the instructions you have found. That is
:11:21. > :11:25.Alex, a professional repairer who was very impressed with my efforts
:11:26. > :11:30.at the party. He had a spare GPS antenna lying around, so we met
:11:31. > :11:33.again at the next event to continue the mission. This time, I've
:11:34. > :11:38.borrowed his professional tools, as might internet ones were not precise
:11:39. > :11:42.enough for the fix. I had to go right down to the logic ought,
:11:43. > :11:48.removing the camera assembly, unfeeling tiny bits of tape, and
:11:49. > :11:58.unscrewing tiny screws. Then, after hours of surgery, I was finally
:11:59. > :12:04.ready to swipe. Could it be? I had to be prepared to break my kit
:12:05. > :12:08.irreparably in order to understand it. Sometimes, it is not the
:12:09. > :12:17.winning, it is taking part that counts.
:12:18. > :12:24.The iPad is safe from the conveyor belt of steam. LJ Rich with some
:12:25. > :12:32.heroic repair work. In a trailer at home unsupervised.
:12:33. > :12:38.Next, and look at this week's news. The start of a key things to come.
:12:39. > :12:41.That is the warning from a security company after an enormous cyber
:12:42. > :12:49.attack targeting one of its clients. Hackers used and exploit using a
:12:50. > :12:53.protocol of the system users. The attack flooded servers with each
:12:54. > :13:02.data. The attack would use Web services off-line.
:13:03. > :13:07.It has been a bad week for bitcoin. Beat them altered withdrawals. The
:13:08. > :13:18.Sevilla the firm said the culprits used a bug in the underlying
:13:19. > :13:22.software. -- Bitstamp. There was a sharp fall in the value of bitcoins.
:13:23. > :13:28.Police have arrested five people on a crackdown. The other great website
:13:29. > :13:35.allowed a criminal trade of illegal drugs and weapons. Please see the
:13:36. > :13:48.round ?353,000 worth of bitcoins. The website launched 98 previously.
:13:49. > :13:53.After 50 million downloads, it is no more. The developer of fluffy bird
:13:54. > :14:00.called the plug when the interest became too much. For those in need
:14:01. > :14:05.of an avian fix, many clones have sprung up. If you are indifferent to
:14:06. > :14:22.the news, perhaps this YouTube requiem will persuade you otherwise.
:14:23. > :14:29.Let us move away from the rubbish and look at something far more
:14:30. > :14:35.stylish. Just in time for the opening of London Fashion Week this
:14:36. > :14:38.weekend. A skirt made of phones. As we wait for the future where your
:14:39. > :14:41.clothing is smarter, this number is made of 80 Nokia smartphones,
:14:42. > :14:51.running an app that simulates fabric on each screen. As the model walks
:14:52. > :15:00.and turns, the handsets detect the movement. The handsets shimmer like
:15:01. > :15:03.real material. It is a collaborative project between Nokia, who supplied
:15:04. > :15:09.the phone, fashion designer Fyodor Golan and London design house Kin.
:15:10. > :15:13.It went through testing and calibrating. The clips were
:15:14. > :15:20.3D-printed to the exact measurements and orientations required. I was up
:15:21. > :15:24.for wearing it myself but sadly it is not meant for somebody of my
:15:25. > :15:31.proportions. I am all for minimising waste. This is ridiculous. This is
:15:32. > :15:38.how the finished product went down on the catwalk. Unfortunately, the
:15:39. > :15:43.software didn't go down. I myself am a dedicated follower of
:15:44. > :15:48.fashion. Not all technology is destined for a place like this. Some
:15:49. > :15:58.is designed to clean your house while you live your own busy life.
:15:59. > :16:00.Last week, Dyson invested ?5 million in the development of a new
:16:01. > :16:09.generation of intelligence household robots. The results of that might be
:16:10. > :16:11.some way off. We send our correspondent to a boardroom
:16:12. > :16:17.capitulated and that could clean up sugar.
:16:18. > :16:24.They come from the world's biggest electronics company. This is an
:16:25. > :16:30.unbelievable opportunity. This process is not about your job but
:16:31. > :16:38.about making sure my house is spotless. At stake, a chance to
:16:39. > :16:46.change the way we clean. And become the vacuum apprenticed. --
:16:47. > :16:51.apprentice. In most areas of our lives. Technology changes the way we
:16:52. > :16:59.do things as the years. But it comes to cleaning, it is a manual process.
:17:00. > :17:05.Yet the last 12 months have seen the release of many updated and more
:17:06. > :17:11.versatile robotic vacuum cleaners. These devices use onboard cameras to
:17:12. > :17:13.photograph and map the home, even containing sensors to stop him
:17:14. > :17:18.falling downstairs or repeatedly hitting the cut. They have a choice
:17:19. > :17:27.of cleaning options with some allowing you to select areas to be
:17:28. > :17:29.avoided. It is all very well at these devices more exciting than
:17:30. > :17:35.your average cleaning equipment. The question is, how well do they
:17:36. > :17:39.actually do their job? We devised an experiment which might not be the
:17:40. > :17:43.most scientific should give us an indication of whether these robots
:17:44. > :17:52.are up to the challenge. Clean floor, need some catch powder. The
:17:53. > :17:58.traditional vacuum costs a third of the price. It did pretty well. It
:17:59. > :18:05.left a slight residue. Here goes. The most high profile of our
:18:06. > :18:12.apprentices is this device. It works similarly to many of its young
:18:13. > :18:16.pretenders like a Samsung robot, boosting a timer function, handy for
:18:17. > :18:22.when you want to programme a clean one at work. LG is fighting its
:18:23. > :18:28.corners hard with a square design. It has brushes. All of the machines
:18:29. > :18:34.tested proved fairly good on superficial surfaces. They were not
:18:35. > :18:41.it on cleaning up the towel. They struggled on the rug. They had great
:18:42. > :18:52.success on carpet. It leaves us with a grubby room to clean. Likely,
:18:53. > :18:57.another robot is on hand to help. This device slips and mops. Handy in
:18:58. > :19:03.this instance. Details are regaining their usual appearance. The floor is
:19:04. > :19:09.not the only place these minions are trying to clean up. Wouldn't it be
:19:10. > :19:21.nice if you could clean the windows without working up a sweat? Hmm.
:19:22. > :19:26.This might be the answer. It certainly washes the windows nicely.
:19:27. > :19:35.It works on any thickness of glass. The permanent court attached makes
:19:36. > :19:38.it feel a bit low-tech. While the future might hold the promise of
:19:39. > :19:44.great things, these candidates might not be ready to take over all of
:19:45. > :19:59.your cleaning duties just yet. You are fired!
:20:00. > :20:07.The robotic backing the needing to be concerned about turning up here.
:20:08. > :20:11.I am sure they will have a career in reality TV. Sticking with the

:20:22. > :20:26.social media. -- tour. Have you ever do good your own name? It can be a
:20:27. > :20:32.scary experience, especially if you are on TV. If you want to know what
:20:33. > :20:40.is being said about you online, try this app that lets you set up
:20:41. > :20:49.keywords or phrases. You can scan social media and forums and blogs.
:20:50. > :20:53.As well as looking for mentions about you or your business, you can
:20:54. > :20:57.add key phrases you are interested in like developments in new
:20:58. > :21:04.technology that had about on this programme or perhaps your TV --
:21:05. > :21:11.favourite TV star, like Spencer Kelly. This is a similar service to
:21:12. > :21:15.Google alerts. It gives him or control and a nice interface to
:21:16. > :21:27.browse. There is a handy import button. If all of that seems
:21:28. > :21:34.narcissistic, and you want a quick way to check whether you have said
:21:35. > :21:38.anything silly on Twitter, this app offers a fun and simple service. You
:21:39. > :21:49.can judge how likely you are comments are to get you fired.
