To conserve energy, should we all turn off our computer and not waste our time in Yahoo Answers?

Question

think about it?

our computer uses a lot of energy and is that energy being used wisely on Yahoo Answers?

Answer 1

I don't think my computer uses as much energy as my TV set, my microwave, or other household appliances. Besides, I get a lot of useful information from my computer. All I get from TV is useless drivel and endless commercials. I rarely turn on my TV, and I use other appliances as expediently as possible. I also find lots of other helpful advice on how to conserve energy from my computer. -RKO-  12/09/07

Answer 2

it is better to turn off unused appliances instead of turning off the computer. computer is a very useful tool from learning and i would like to learn more. better change your bulbs with low wattage ones. i also agree with the other answerer that many will lose their jobs if no one will use the computer anymore. perhaps, we find information in the computer how we will stop global warming

Answer 3

is it being used wisely?no.but then again looking at tv does the same thing.

Answer 4

yeah you start, Oh silly me your a yahoo top contrib, that means you wouldnt know what to do with yourself with out wasting your life on this site.

Answer 5

it is informative here.so better put off some thing else

Answer 6

what would be the consequences? How about all those people who work for Yahoo that would be left unemployed? Who would end up paying for them? We would. One way or another we would end up paying the price for ending their employment. The energy we saved by not being on Yanswers would be spent in keeping these poor unemployed former Yahoo employees fed and clothed until they could find other forms of employment. I think the responsible thing to do is continue to support the lowly Yahoo employees and stay on the site.

Answer 7

information shared is not energy waste, there are several other unwise wastage of energy which needs to be stopped.

Answer 8

The cup of coffee, that I drink while using the computer, takes more energy, and the air con takes a lot more.
