Pollution

... and lots of it, too!

Digital Pollution, that is.

It's a term I've coined to represent the myriad files and folders on our school network.

"Oh, I don't have time to delete old files" or
"Oh, I might need that one day"

Really? Really?

"Hi Darren. I've reached my network quota. Can I have more?"

Mmmm. Cause and Effect? Accountability?

The Digital Age has brought untold benefits. However, the throwaway mentality we have extends to collecting files, creating and then abandoning email accounts, or blogs, or websites, creating more files, more accounts.

"Oh Darren. There's a lot of junk on the network, you know"

Reeeeally. But none of it yours, though, of course!

It's a battle I'll never win; none of us can win.
