Materials Extraction Stage
A printer is an external device that is used in the production of text or graphical representations on paper that can be read. The impact of material extraction is huge. A major impact of material extraction has been felt on the forestry. For printing to go on, poet has to be available. Paper comes from trees. Contrary to common opinion, the paper industry has contributed to over 30% of the growth of forests in Europe.
Another instance is, in 3D printing, news made headlines that a working gun had been printed. With this as an example, the criminal landscape is set to only grow and expand only as a result of printing.
Another impact of the material extraction stage in printing is about personalization. Printing, especially 3D printing helps individuals to be creative, with an individual being able to put their own mark on an item (Reichardt, 2014).
Through printing, the language continued to grow and be understood due to the help of printers. Continued development of the rules of language ensured that the readers could easily interpret the writings of the author. Nonetheless, the consistency ensured that the readers gained experience. According to Rosenblatt (1978), readers tend to react on words because they follow the rules the author established (Rosenblatt, 1978)
Material extraction has helped hugely in communication thus promoting social sustainability. (Jensen, 2001) Humans rely on information to survive and without the production of paper; the communication industry would not survive. Despite the growth in technology, humans always turn back to paper to ensure communication. This is a trend that will for a long time be in existence because papers forms the building block for any communication.
Critical Comment
Studying the impact of the material extraction stage is interesting but limiting. While researching the paper, the different literatures indicate that the end-of-life stage also highly impacts not only on social sustainability but also on things such as the environment. It would have been more beneficial to the learner had the given title involved both impact on social sustainability and the environment and also the whole life cycle of the printer rather than just one stage.
