== Energy use of the Internet? == | |||
Somewhere in the ICT pages I think we need to have some discussion of the energy usage of the internet, which some environmentalists are now pointing out is a significant impact, e.g. this article by Jane Anne Morris, http://www.greens.org/s-r/59/59-06.html . So we could discuss the trade-offs between beneficial impacts of the 'net (like Appropedia) vs impacts, especially as Morris points out, when the web is increasingly moving to more data-intensive pictures and videos. | |||

I would expand, quickly on what hibernating is or make it a keyword to help the reader understand term. "placing the computer in hibernation..."--Butterfly2573 21:44, 1 September 2011 (PDT)
In the section Energy-efficient computers, I would take some time to expand on the diffrent ways how a reader can use electricity or how they can recycle thier motherboards or where toxic waste should be taken.--Butterfly2573 21:50, 1 September 2011 (PDT)
