Lizzie; check the wall jack of your telephone and look at the cord you plug into it (both ends). Also look at any extensions, jacks, adaptors and telephone, network cable plugs and USB plugs you you have plugged into your computer.. Look carefully at the little wires and contacts inside. Take the battery out of your mobile phone. Look at the contacts where it plugs in. See that nice shiny golden color! That's real gold plating, very thin to be sure, but gold nevertheless! Without it your connections would be unreliable and would corrode or tarnish and your computer, telephone, cell phone, printer, scanner etc would not function reliably.. Gold is most certainly used in virtually every electronic item in common use today in everyone's homes, including yours.. While large items like computers, TVs etc may be recycled and some of that gold recovered, the small items like the billions of telephone and computer cables produced annually are not, and that gold (even though it is a small amount on a per item basis - it adds up to quite a lot) is lost..
