The latest on Green Computing

In 2006, the EPA estimated that personal computers consumed 2% of all the electricity in the United States.

3 years later, you can bet that number has gone up, because the number of computers in use has gone up.

If we all made some small adjustments to our computing devices and behaviors, we could collectively safe a substantial amount of power and acres of trees.

Listen in as the Data Doctors put on their Birkenstocks and wrap their arms around a few trees while discussing power saving tips as well as some common misnomers about technology and power.

Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. You can post questions on Facebook or e-mail your questions during (or before) the broadcast using the ask a question page.
