Explanation / Answer
Hello,
Green computing is the environmentally responsible and eco-friendly use of Technology using computers and their resources. In broader terms, it is also defined as the study of designing, manufacturing or engineering, using and disposing of computing devices in a way that reduces their negative environmental impact on surrounding, Health & climate.
1.a) There are number of way people are contributing to green computing. One current way people are contributing to green computing is putting our laptop, smartphone or desktop computer in sleep mode when not in use. This simple can drastically reduce usage of electricity which can be utilized to provide cheap electricity to others.
Other way people are contributing to green computing is with recycling of the old computing resources like computers, laptop, hard disk, processor etc. in such a way that these components will not be thrown away in environment.
b) There are growing number of IT resources and components are in use exponentially in future such as laptop, computers, smartphones and other gadgets which use huge electricity. If all these devices will put their screen in sleep mode for even a some time in day that can lower the light emission in very much large margin. It will also reduce the unhealthy beam of lights to environment and our health.
Obviously when in sleep more, these devices uses very less electricity compared to normal mode and that will save electricity which can be utilized in research towards green computing or health.
c) There are number of recommendations in which IT professionals can contribute to field of green computing such as
1) reusing the old components of IT resource such as memory component, batteries & other IT resources. This will not only save the time and money spent by manufacturer but also help to keep our surrounding and environment clean.
2) putting the screen of computers, laptops & other gadgets in sleep mode when not in use can save electricity which can be utilized in other purposeful works, research. It will reduce the hazardous ray to climate keeping our environment clean.
3) taking care of batteries of gadgets and disposing them correctly can not only save huge amount of money to manufacture them but also it will reduce the environment hazard and pollution.
