Green is the New Gold
(Page 1 of 4 )
The first computers took up whole rooms. It was all about size; people thought that we would have computers as big as office floors by now. After that, it was about cramming as much speed into as small of a device as possible. As you can see, tech trends change over time. Now that we have shrunk PCs into a PDA the size of your hand, what is next? It is no longer the trend to get the hottest hardware. It’s all about the coolest, most energy efficient hardware.
What does it mean to be “green”? There is green-colored computer hardware, but that isn’t what we are talking about. Green means it is energy efficient and runs cooler and quieter than other products. I’m sure you have heard of at least some types of green products.
Some of the most well-known and anticipated green machines are cars. With the price of oil and the environmental impact of cars, green cars hope to clean up the air and save the oil. But you don’t have to spend a ton of money on a new car to be green.
There are lots of other devices that you can use to help you play a part in saving the world. Many appliances are Energy Star efficient. I have switched the light bulbs in my house over to more energy efficient bulbs. I’m saving money on electricity and they weren’t any more expensive than your traditional light bulbs.
As technology has evolved, we've come out with better and more efficient technology. Heck, my light bulbs are good for thousands of hours. This article will talk about the green trend in the technology sector.
