This is my homework. please help!
Please respond to all of the following questions in the corresponding Course Discussion Area:
1. As discussed in the chapter, one push by computer manufacturers is making computers run as efficiently as possible to save battery power and electricity. What do you think is the motivation behind this trend? Is it social responsibility or a response to consumer demands? Should the energy consumption of electronic devices be regulated and controlled by the government or another organization? Why or why not? How responsible should consumers be for energy conservation in relation to electronic use? In your opinion, what, if anything, should all computer users do to practice green computing?
2. In addition to being used with computers and consumer products, there are also processors and other components designated to be implanted inside the human body, such as the (VeriChip - do some research online), implantable wafers containing medication and a processor that delivers the medication at the appropriate time and dosage, camera pills that are swallowed to transmit images of and in the jewels digestive system to a receiving unit, and pacemakers designed to regulate in individuals heart rate. One step further is brain to computer interface (BC I), which involves implanting electrodes directly into the human brain to restore lost functionality or to facilitate the communication ability of severely disabled individuals, such as by enabling them to control a mouse using only their thoughts. What do you think about these implantable chip applications? Are the benefits worth the risk of something going wrong with the chips in planted inside your body? Are there any privacy risks? Would you consider using an implanted device? Why or why not?
