There's a bit of talk nowadays about 'Green Computing' and what can be done to decrease the environmental impact of power hungry electronic devices. Actually, its another case of necessity being the mother of invention. If you look at the figures for the power output of modern silicon chips they are, per unit of surface area, more power hungry than the heating element of an electric fire...

Like every other product of the advanced manufacturing capabilities of a long-industrialised society the computers that surround us – and, for the pacemaker wearers among us, that we have taken into our bodies – carry an environmental cost.
Silicon may be cheap, but turning it into processors requires vast amounts of energy, clean water and many potentially toxic chemicals...

If you’re looking to save money and be more efficient, it's time to consider what the ever-present “green" movement means for your small business. At its core, it's the basic operating principle of managing resources and costs – swathed in an earthy robe.

A PC laptop or MacBook. There are actually differences in the "greenness" of PCs versus Mac computers. Unfortunately, little information was available specifically on laptops, so I've used desktops as a surrogate comparison. The typical laptop of either flavor uses energy at anywhere from 15 to 45 watts (W, or joules of energy per second, a lightbulb uses 60). A PC desktop computer uses at minimum 95 but up to 330W...

Technology can be many things - often frustrating, frequently ingenious, occasionally revolutionary. Take the rhetoric around videoconferencing.

The truth about… green PCs |

www.climatechangecorp.com
Saving energy in IT isn’t simply a matter of improving the efficiency of the server room or data centre, or of getting staff to switch their PCs off at night. The PCs themselves are also needlessly inefficient: 35% of the power that most desktop computers consume is lost as heat from the power supply before energy even reaches the computer...
