Green Computing: A Pioneer from Hazardous Machines to Adjuvant Technology

In today’s scenario computer has become a part of life. Undoubtedly computer has changed our life to such an extent that without it our daily lives cannot be imagined. It is providing incredible facilities. Whether it is about education, or medical science, or entertainment, or any other field, nothing has been left untouched by computer. But still only one side of coin is being appreciated; the other darker side is yet to be analyzed. As has happened till now, we the human beings keep on ignoring many important issues for facilities and luxuries. We never think that the things which we have invented to make our lives easier are in fact harming our lives. Because of the dependency on computer several environmental damages are caused. Human have been polluting the planet and consuming its natural resources as a consequence of their production, consumption and disposal of desirable goods and services. We have included computer as a part of life quite easily without analyzing its harmful effects. It is injurious for our life and for our Earth. While using it the gases it extracts, and its useless parts in the form of e-waste are equally polluting the lands, the water, and the air. The goal of this paper is to inform about all these threats of a computer. Along with this instead of being hazardous one cant reject the utilities and importance of computers. So finding out any substitute, any idea, by which these harms can be reduced or fully vanished, is another important motive of this paper. Green Computing is emerged out as a solution to hazardous effect of computers. It has pioneered human beings to make the technology echo-friendly and less harmful.
