Green Computing has attracted concerns in the past few decades, with the sole concern for the procedures involve in the designing, manufacturing, usage and disposal of information and communication technology (ICT) basically for environmental sustainability. The importance of human factor in green computing has not received the deserved attention. The social, moral and ethical decadence resulting from the use of ICT has reduced the quality of human in modern time. This study advocates the importance of peopleware as essential aspect of green computing which equalling demands concern. Thus the adoption of peopleware in green computing practices will invariably improve sustainability of the physical and spiritual environment.

Information and communication technology (ICT) has continuously reshaped the way in which businesses operate. Yet opinions among economists about the returns to ICT, especially at the aggregate level, are divided. We exploit business-to-business transaction panel data from ICT producers to construct ICT capital stocks for a large sample of Belgian firms. This allows us to estimate the returns to ICT at the firm level and to investigate how firm-level ICT investments affected aggregate gross domestic product and productivity. We find large returns to ICT—more precisely, a firm investing an additional euro in ICT—increases value added by 1 euro and 35 cents on average. This marginal product of ICT investment increases with firm size and varies across sectors. Although we find substantial returns to ICT at the firm level, returns are much lower at the aggregate level. This is due to underinvestment in ICT (ICT capital deepening is low) and because firms with especially high returns are underinvesting.

This qualitative case study aims to review and analyze the condition of the information and communication technology (ICT) facilities for the implementation of the computer-based national examination (UNBK), the principal's strategies in implementing UNBK, and the obstacles in implementing UNBK at one of junior high schools in Kota Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data were collected by interview, observation and documentation. The result of data analysis revealed the lack of facilities for the implementation of UNBK in the school. The principal's strategies in implementing UNBK in the school cover various aspects, such as facilities and infrastructure, human resources, and pupil affairs. Two obstacles emerged i.e., technical and non-technical.

E-Readiness is the level of readiness that a person needs to understand and apply information and communication technology. E-Readiness can also be interpreted as readiness to sort, interpret, and process digital knowledge. E-Readiness is very important for students to be able to take part in online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to describe the level of E-Readiness in learning biology for high school students in West Lombok Regency in participating in online learning of biology subjects. This study uses a quantitative descriptive research method. The instrument used to obtain student E-Readiness data is the E-Readiness questionnaire. Data collection was carried out using a survey technique by distributing questionnaires using the google form application. The number of respondents who filled out the questionnaire was 622 students. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistical analysis techniques that refer to the An Integration Information Rich E-Readiness Assessment Tool evaluation model. Data analysis using the evaluation model was carried out on each indicator of the E-readiness segment. The results of data analysis found that: (1) Enterprise E-Readiness segment 79.88% ready; (2) ICT readiness segment 82.96 ready; (3) Human resources readiness 83.88 ready, 4. Information readiness segment, 70.72% ready, and 5. External environment readiness 84.42% is ready. From the data analysis, it was found that the E-Readiness of studying biology for high school students was 3.1% Very Unprepared, 16.4% Unprepared, 54.9% Ready, and 25.6% Very Ready. On average 80.5% of high school students have good skills in using information and communication technology. Thus, it can be concluded that an average of 80.5% of students' E-Readiness in learning biology had a good level of readiness, and 19.5% did not yet have a readiness level to participate in online biology learning in West Lombok Regency
