ICT green technology


what is ict..?Information and Communications Technology - or technologies (ICT) is an umbrella term that includes all technologies for the manipulation and communication of information.The term is sometimes used in preference to Information Technology(IT)


The field of “green technology” encompasses a continuously evolving group of methods and materials, from techniques for generating energy to non-toxic cleaning products.The present expectation is that this field will bring innovation and changes in daily life of similar magnitude to the “information technology” explosion over the last two decades. In these early stages, it is impossible to predict what “green technology” may eventually encompass.


The goals that inform developments in this rapidly growing field include:

1.Sustainability
2.“Cradle to cradle” design
3.Source reduction
4.Innovation
5.Viability

Current high-technology production processes are based on traditional top down strategies, where nanotechnology has already been introduced silently. The critical length scale of integrated circuits is already at the nanoscale (50 nm and below) regarding the gate length of transistors in CPUs or DRAM devices.



A central processing unit (CPU) is an electronic circuit that can execute computer programs. This broad definition can easily be applied to many early computers that existed long before the term "CPU" ever came into widespread usage. The term itself and its initialism have been in use in the computer industry at least since the early 1960s (Weik 1961).This standardization trend generally began in the era of discrete transistor mainframes and minicomputers and has rapidly accelerated with the popularization of the integrated circuit (IC). The IC has allowed increasingly complex CPUs to be designed and manufactured to tolerances on the order of nanometers. Modern microprocessors appear in everything from automobiles to cell phones to children's toys



The advantage is supports CPU overclocking and more power-efficient processors.There seems to be consensus that, although one should be aware of materials containing fixed nanoparticles, the immediate concern is with free nanoparticles.Nanoparticles it is important that a powder or liquid containing nanoparticles almost never be monodisperse. This complicates the experimental analysis as larger nanoparticles might have different properties from smaller ones. Also, nanoparticles show a tendency to aggregate, and such aggregates often behave differently from individual nanoparticles.
