the internet is made of metal

Youtube videos that show you how to maximize the profit from scrapping a computer emphasize segregating metals.

Aluminum heat sinks in one pile, plastic coated copper wire in another. The internal cooling fan can be sold as an electric motor. Gold skim coats on the “fingers” of certain wire connections and platinum on the mirror finish of the hard drive’s internal optical component.

So many elements come together to create a google search. It feels more like plastic, glass and magic to the average user. Metal is the magic.
