A report about online energy consumption (Google and you'll damage the planet, Jan 11) said that "performing two Google searches from a desktop computer can generate about the same amount of carbon dioxide as boiling a kettle" or about 7g of CO2 per search.
But what is the answer of IT society?
Could you imagine what amount of CO2 you would generate if you don’t have Google or other search engines?
dTowns is also concerned with providing the user a large assortment of services with minimal harm for environment. Imagine, how much will the pollution decrease, if you don’t actually have to ride to several shops to find whatever you need, ordering it via internet instead. And the time saved can be used to have a walk.
It is a big problem for some talented people to receive the education they want, when foreign universities are concerned. The most time- and money-consuming part is, however, travelling and staying in a foreign country. Using e-universities is a perfect solution,
This issue also are important in “dTowns”, because we have a large amount of services that users can use them without harming the environment and make pollution.
Just imagine if we shop from a supermarket online instead of starting the car and seeking the item in supermarkets.
Or using e-universities instead of traveling to other countries for studying in the universities of that country.
Of course you can say that we can do all of this activities by searching in search-engines and using official websites like sites of shops, universities, play online games, watching television or…, but the problem is that most of the people cannot understand how to use search-engines or prefer to search product or services in real world instead of search-engines, but by using a social network with the ability of having a schematic city in it these people can experience of doing their jobs online like doing them in the real world.
