Another new mantra in the technology sphere. Green Computing… looking at the un-recyclable waste the computer hardware is producing today, the future is in thin clients and recylability.
| Green computing is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently. Typically, technological systems or computing products that incorporate green computing principles take into account the so-called triple bottom line of economic viability, social responsibility, and environmental impact. This differs somewhat from traditional or standard business practices that focus mainly on the economic viability of a computing solution. These focuses are similar to those of green chemistry; reduction of the use of hazardous materials such as lead at the manufacturing stage, maximized energy efficiency during the product’s term of use, and recyclability or biodegradability of both a defunct product and of any factory waste.
A typical green computing solution attempts to address some or all of these factors by implementing environmentally friendly products in an efficient system |
