It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

A worker sorts through a large pile of e-waste in an industrial facility, highlighting the environmental impact of discarded electronics.
We're seeing lots of headlines about the catastrophic impact of massive data center expansion. But what else could data centers look like?
