The Wee Man- a look to the reality of technology

The WEEE man is a trash sculpture designed by Paul Bonomini. It is a huge robotic figure made from
different type of technological scrap you can find in the society. It is found in a large conservatory plant
called the eden project in Cornwall, England. It stands seven meters tall and weighs 3.6 tons. The
gigantic sculpture was made through piecing different electrical and electronic equipment you can
usually found in household. The WEEE man said to represents the average amount of e-product that an
individual throw in his/her lifetime.

The WEEE man truly showed how advance our society in terms of technology. A person can easily tell
the different composition of the sculpture as the e-product there is the usual things that a person uses
every day. The sculpture was formed like a human body to represent how the people today are very
immerse to the usage of technology. E-products like mobile phones, microwaves, calculators, Laptop,
Television, and many more are some of the equipment that you can found in the sculpture that became
part of our lives. The WEEE man is still uncomplete as the creators will still add more E-products that will
be available in the future. This means that the WEEE man will continually grow larger, and this
represents how we humans are changing as with the development of technology.

The WEEE man also depicts the sad reality technology brings to the environment. The sculpture
illustrates the problems created by inappropriate disposal of such e-products. It reflects how technology
are very destructive to the wellbeing of man and nature. It also tries to encourage the science and
business community to work on much more environmentally friendly devices that will lessen the
negative effects to the health of humans and animals the like. By showing the average e-waste an
individual throw in his lifetime, the WEEE man tries to raise awareness to everyone about the impending
future of humanity if unsustainable progression in technology will continue.
