The Advantage and Disadvantage of Green Computing/ Technology

THE ADVANTAGES INFLUENCE OF GREEN COMPUTING / TECHNOLOGY

One of the important factors for environmental pollution is the disposal of waste. Green technology has answers to that as well. It can effectively change waste pattern and production in a way that it does not harm the planet and we can go green.

Side effect disposal is the risk for health is the second factor why we must use green computing / technology, a silent threat is seeping into our water, soil and air. Carcinogens, dioxins and heavy metals are being consumed by both animals and humans and if exposed for long periods of time, these metals can cause damage mental or internal harming of the liver, lungs and kidneys.

This threat is not biological in nature, rather, it is something that we have brought into our lives and are using with increased dependency. The problem stems from electronic waste (E-waste) and comes from irresponsibly discarded mobile phones, computers and entertainment devices and more that leaves not only our health vulnerable but the private information and security of companies and individuals too. By that, green computing / technology must be adopt to prevent this both side effect factors.

THE DISADVANTAGES OF GREEN COMPUTING / TECHNOLOGY

Disadvantages could appear but many people seem to think that there are more advantages and they weigh out any potential disadvantages. One disadvantage is that green computing could actually be quite costly. Given that there has been a green process that the computer will have gone through in order to make the computer in the first place, there will usually be some kind of added cost when the computer has been finished. Green computing takes a lot of new technology, and hence, you may find that you will have to pay a premium price for your new green computer.

            A perfect example is that the greenest modern computers today are Macbooks and Macbook Pros. These computers are hardly inexpensive - they're actually some of the most expensive computers in the market.

            Furthermore, some computers that are green may be considerably underpowered. Some people may need incredibly power-consuming and powerful computers to deal with the tasks that they need them to do. This is another disadvantage that many people who have high-powered computers believe to have with green computers.

            Another issue would be that powerful and green computers are more expensive. For instance, Apple's powerful range of computers, including their iMacs, are incredibly green but are also incredibly expensive.
