Speed, Stability and Maintenance of New and Reusable Computer to the User: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Abstract-Approach towards environmental friendly development concept introduces green technology computing system (GTCS) as a technique to reuse obsolete computer in sustainable manner. Instead of purchasing new computers to replace old computers, the disc on Module (DOM) can be installed into the obsolete computer to transform them into GTCS. In this study, the obsolete computers with GTCS were tested to run all the software programs that were usually utilized in the new computers. The survey questionnaires methodology is established to support the result of the computer data processor in terms of speed, stability and maintenance of the new and obsolete computer to the user. The result of the study shows that, obsolete computer shows the best performance to the users in terms of speed, stability and maintenance. However, new computer shows the best stability in terms of computer graphic condition and computer accessory condition. The finding of the study reveals that GTCS can contribute to reduce computer waste volume due to the reuse of obsolete computers by the users. This green solution is environmental friendly solution for managing computer waste in future Index Terms-Green technology computing system, performance, reusable computer. I. INTRODUCTIONThe industrial revolution and over helming development of information technology have changed the present society"s lifestyles. To date, the society has become dependable on the usage of electronic product such as computer, telephones, washing machine and others. An electronic waste refers to the expiration of a product"s life span and that includes computers, printers, photocopy machines, televisions, hand phones and toys made from mixtures of plastics, metals and other materials [1]. Information technology and telecommunications equipment seems to be the dominant of waste electric and electronic being generated in terms of number especially in Africa, in the poorer region of Asia and in South America [2]. The largest component of the electronic waste stream is computer monitor [3]. Basically computers monitors contain cathode ray tubes (CRTs). If the CRTs being incinerates or landfill, the lead in CRTs will be released to the environment. The emission of lead will potentially give health effects and associate damage to the  Manuscript
