ResumenEl presente artículo reconoce como antecedente y forma parte de una investigación que aborda el análisis de los impactos de la Informática en el ambiente, las diferentes propuestas legislativas y tendencias en tecnologías verdes - Green Computing, Green IT- en el ámbito nacional e internacional. En la misma, partimos de la base del reconocimiento que los grandes avances tecnológicos producidos en las últimas décadas derivados de las revoluciones industriales, específicamente de la tercera revolución industrial, han generado importantes consecuencias y profundos cambios sociales en el ámbito de la información y las comunicaciones, incidiendo en nuestras vidas y que, en la actualidad, el crecimiento económico, el desarrollo industrial, la generalización en el uso de las computadoras, la proliferación de redes informáticas y las modernas tecnologías de la información y comunicación (denominadas TICS) han aportado un nuevo grado de confort y bienestar a nuestra vida ocasionando un aumento del consumo de bienes y servicios. A partir de la década de 1930, los países adoptaron un modelo basado en la promoción del crecimiento del consumo lo que significó la reactivación de la economía gracias al incremento de la demanda, generando una sociedad consumista donde el tener y comprar determinó una posición dentro de la misma. Este artículo tiene por objeto describir la obsolescencia programada como una práctica empresarial habitual en la sociedad del consumo, sus diferentes modalidades, analizar los impactos negativos en las diferentes dimensiones del desarrollo sostenible para finalizar con la exposición de las alternativas propuestas tanto desde el ámbito del derecho como desde el económico-social.Palabras claves: Sociedad de Consumo, Ambiente, Tecnología, Obsolescencia Programada, Consumo Sustentable.

Cooling Technology

Information Communication Technology (ICT) is playing an increasingly important role in professional and private lives worldwide and is thus also increasingly becoming a significant energy consumer and CO2 emitter. Green IT benefits the environment by improving energy efficiency, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, using less harmful materials, and encouraging reuse and recycling. The explosion of information and communication technology (ICT), including personal computers, servers and data centers, handheld and telephonic devices, and printers, over the past few decades has led to a particular focus on ICT’s environmental impact. Green computing refers to the practice of using computing resources more efficiently while maintaining or increasing overall performance. IT services require the integration of green computing practices such as power management, virtualization, improving cooling technology, recycling, electronic waste disposal, and optimization of the IT infrastructure to meet sustainability requirements.

Bring your own Device (BYOD) is currently heightened as an approach towards green computing. With the current usage of mobile devices such as the smart phones, tablets, and laptops as the necessity in the working environment, the concept of BYOD went beyond personal use towards workplace. This study explores the BYOD practices and the contributions to support green computing in Malaysia public sector. Theoretical in this study were tested through a study in selected ministry in Malaysia. Qualitative research approach is used in the study with the main data collection method of interviews and document analysis. The study discovered two models of BYOD approach in the Malaysian public sector, which are the personally owned devices model and the organization owned devices model. This study concludes that both models can support green computing in Malaysia public sector; however no policy related to processes procedure of BYOD that can be used as guideline for green IT practices.

Green computing is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently. It aims to reduce the use of hazardous materials, maximize energy efficiency during the product's lifetime, and promote recyclability or biodegradability of defunct products and factory waste. The plan towards green IT should include new electronic products and services with optimum efficiency.Â Green computing strategies can help us to build a safe place for us to live in .If each one of us becomes successful in constructing a healthy environmental balcony for ourselves then trust us we can together make our mother earth a healthy and a happy place for us to survive here.

In the existing state of Information Technology one cannot imagine of endurance without computers. The computers are used in such a way so as to help in sustaining the environment. The great amounts of energy consumed by large-scale computing and network systems, such as data centers and supercomputers, have been a major source of concern in a society increasingly reliant on information technology. The experts in the field have thought about how they can combat the continuing saga in battling the problem of scarcity and energy consumption by computing resources. This movement led to the development of “Green IT” and “Green computing”. “Green IT” refers to all IT measures that help in reducing energy either at hardware level, software level or at the service level. IT architect are moving towards new technologies and network system such as Virtualization, Grid Computing, MIMO System, Cognitive Radio and Power Management Techniques to achieve their goal of Green IT. This chapter incorporates the facts that how these new technologies helps in empowering IT.
