As I read the content of this sites it tells us the growing and the functions of the Internet around the world and how it helps students, faculties, staff and administrators to be more effective in their studies and works. In my own idea, even in our school we can implement this kind of event or style because I believe that it is really important in our studies specially IT students. Even if we have limited resources or poor resources when in come to computers thus a faster internet connections can help us. But I think it is nice to have fully functional computers with complete hardwares and reliable softwares in our school to properly adopt this kind of strategy.As I first read the content I was shock to read that their campus has over 6000 computers on their campus, well I was thinking about my school’s computers! This URL talks about conserving and taking care of our mother nature in spite of our fast changing technology. In their campus they tried to reduce their waste to save nature and keep it green. Well I think that’s a good idea to be implemented in our school also. And how we will gonna do that? Its simple as this site tell us the exact ways to conserve nature. First in order to make sure the computer you buy is environmentally friendly, ask if the manufacturer has adopted these Silicon Principles, and ask about what steps have been taken to implement them. Next as we all know that when the demand is high, the supply should also high to provide the needs of demand. Thus as the number computers rises, the resources necessary to run these computers will also rise. These resources include electricity, paper, toner cartridges, floppy disks, and other peripheral devices. Still, it's possible to minimize this impact using some very simple means. So you need to conserve electricity by turning off the pc if not in use, save paper by printing necessary documents. So how our school gonna help the environment using our computers? Computers can send reports or emails to our government if you see some abuses around you especially in our nature. So in even if computers have great impact to our mother nature we can minimized it to keep it clean and green.
