Computers

Effects of Computers
Computers are ubiquitous. As computers have become less expensive they have been purchased by more and more families for their homes. Because of this, many children begin to use computers at an early age. Even if computers are not available in their home, children almost certainly will begin to come into contact with computers in school.

Some adults are amazed by how readily young children use computers. Many children find that using computers gives them a sense of power and accomplishment. And, unlike many adults whose first or primary contact with computers is work related, most children first use computers for entertainment purposes and games. This is by no means the only use that children have for computers. Children also use computers for accessing information, as well as for writing stories and research papers.

In addition, children use a variety of learning programs, which either seek to teach or reinforce basic skills in math, language, reading, and other subjects. Other software allows children to draw pictures or create visual works of art and self-expression. Communication with others is growing as an application of computers by children, particularly as more homes and schools gain access to the Internet. As computers continue to become more powerful, increasing numbers of children are using computers to create multimedia presentations and even web sites that include pictures, text, audio, and even video.

Data Center Server that Consume Less Energy
How low can your server power go? Microsoft is investigating that question in a project by its new Cloud Computing Futures (CCF) research unit, which aims to reduce data center costs by “four-fold or greater.” The new group was introduced today at the Microsoft TechFest in Redmond. One of CCF’s initial research projects is testing the viability of a small cloud computing server farm using low-power Intel Atom processors originally designed for use in netbooks and mobile applications.

Green Advantge
Going green is not something that can be obtained from just choosing organic rust removers or any other organic-based products. It can also be obtained through technology. Specifically, green technology.

What are those benefits?
1.First and foremost, green IT is a help to the environment. The use of them reduces the already big pile of e-waste. For instance, a simple move of replacing fluorescent bulbs with energy-efficient lights will lessen the number of burnt bulbs dumped into landfills. How? Well, high-efficiency light bulbs tend to last longer which means they require lesser replacements.
