ONE SIMPLE CLICK, ONE BIG CHANGE

My first major blog would be an advertisement of an I.T. and computer related product which is very helpful and environmental friendly. This is going to be very helpful to us especially right now that our world revolves around computers and also to those persons who are on a computer related job.


Featuring, the Ecobutton™.


I know many of us right now are very aware of the problems and obstacles we are facing. U.S. has an issue about their economy, the Chinesse products that has a dangerous chemical, melamim and the infamous rising-of-the-gasoline-prices issue worlwide and many more. Among them is, theoretically, one of the most disastrous and dangerous one - Global Warming.

This is where the ecobutton™ comes in. With a simple push of the button, you have saved money, energy and, ofcourse, saved the Earth.

Ecobutton™ works by simply putting your computer on a special mode famously known as the "Eco Mode". This mode of your computer is also equivalent when shutting down your computer,
The ecobutton™ acts as a strong visual reminder and prompt for you to save electricity each time your computer is going to be left idle. The ecobutton™ is illuminated and sits on your table/desk top next to your keyboard. It connects to your computer via a USB cable. Each time you take a short or long break, a phone call, go for a meeting etc. you simply press the ecobutton™ and your computer is put into energy saving 'ecomode' which ensures that both your computer and monitor draw only the same nominal power as when they are shut down!


Under normal circumstances people generally do not like turning off their computers due to the time it often takes to restart. However, with ecobutton™ by simply pressing any key on your keyboard (some computers require a momentary press of the power button) your computer instantly returns to where you left off.

There's also an additional bonus, each time your computer is put into 'ecomode' the clever ecobutton™ software records how many carbon units and how much power and money you have saved by using the ecobutton™. Over time this can add up to quite a lot (especially if you have many computers running in an office) and you can use this data to help reduce your carbon footprint as well as your energy bills.
