Creature Narrative

What is done with the last generation of comupters and technology from America? Generally, it ends up in dumps in Asia for the reclaiming of valuable metals and other parts, basically recycling, but what about the non valuable parts? Tons of rubber and plastic are going to waste, and more importantly being accumulated in vast quantities that are difficult, or impossible to get rid of.

This was a problem of great concern 50 years ago, before the advent of recyclosects. Now, however, there is a new problem, recyclosects. The insects were developed to do the manual labor required to break down and reprocess old recyclables, particularly electronics, into new usable products. Various versions of the recyclobots were made for different materials that needed to be recycled, and programmed to recreate them into specific new objects, for example taking appart an old iPod and reforming the plastic casing into the new, more hip iPod (this recyclobot was particularly popular, while frivolous, but ultimately has served to the demise of the iPod since).

Eventually something went wrong, and no one is quite sure why, but in waves the recyclobots started ignoring their orders to disassemble used, outdated electronics and started persuing all sorts of electronics, reigning chaos over the tech-savvy across the world.
