THE POLYTECHNIC IBADAN JUST LOST AN ICONIC RECOGNITION WITH TOYKO 2020 OLYMPIC ORGANIZERS
MANAGER OF THE POLYTECHNIC IBADAN HAS INCINERATED PHONES CONFISCATED DURING THEIR LAST EXAMINATION PERIOD.
These phones confiscated which were numbered to be about a thousand was burnt down withing the south school football field of the institution on Wednesday 10th July 2019.
our corespondent were on ground to have get the view of some students.
anonymous student lament,
Why burn them.
Even if you won't give the students again,
use it for better economic use.
Anonymous, The government should do something about this because our sim cards were not returned.
My humble view on this.
It was phones like this from America 🇺🇸 that China 🇨🇳 students decomposed to learn the technology.
Today, Huawei is a threat to America, Even if we so dumb, can't a Tertiary School even sell it to generate income.
I can remember how japan propose to buy all damaged used phones across countries to make medals for Olympic Games come 2020.
The report comes from Japanese website Nikkei, which says organizers of the next Olympic Games would like gold, silver and bronze medals to be sourced purely from donated electronics.
The idea isn't as far-fetched as it sounds: our smartphones contain the gold, silver and copper that can be recycled for use in new electronics, albeit in small amounts. But all those small amounts add up, and Japan is looking to use those metals to make the most iconic medals in sport.
It'll mean the country won't need to mine new metals, instead using what's referred to as Japan's 'urban mine' of discarded consumer tech. It's estimated that 16% of the world's gold and 22% of the planet's silver is currently sitting inside tech all over Japan.
Games organizers are asking Japanese firms to pitch ideas for recycling schemes to help encourage citizens to donate. If the scheme is successful it would mean the usual practice of getting precious material mines to donate the metal for the medals would cease, or at least be dramatically reduced.
The London Olympic games used 9.6kg of gold, 1,210kg of silver and 700kg of copper (the main ingredient used when making bronze) to make its medals in 2012. In 2014, Japan discarded 143kg of gold, 1,566kg of silver and 1,112 tons of copper through electronics.
The reason so much silver is needed is that the gold medals are made up of that material too, with gold added into the mix to create the distinction. Similarly, tin is used in the bronze medals, so multiple materials will need to be sourced to create fully recycled medals.
And knowing that part of your old smartphone has become one of the most iconic medals in sport may be enough to persuade people to donate to the cause.
I'd just say THE GREAT POLYTECHNIC I
IBADAN has just lost a shot of iconic recognition.
Tokyo 2020 organisers won't asked how it came, but embrace the effort from the institution in making sure their aim and objectives were archived.
