A good Idea but very difficult to implement

The article is a veryu good one if its a small scale industry, but if it is a multinational company it is very difficult to implement this idea as it will be overloaded and not safe to keep important data as if it ets corrupted then there is no other alternative to find the source of data again

It scrap is headache for the earth

People are consuming more than they wants, I mean if we look at our selves we have at least four to five electronic items in our bag or pokect every time and we updata it almost every year or two years. If its a senario with everyone than dumping ground will fill up with our It scrap only.

recycleing is the best way to reduse the scrap and also recycleing saves lots of energy so it is helpful in both ways

Nice Thought

The proposal is based upon a good idea but I amnot totally convinced about it. Needs to work upon minute but crucial details.

I've heard this done before but haven't seen any one organization stick with this long enough to make it resonate when people and companies are replacing computers. Hope this one has a strong promotional plan and some early adopters to make it stick.

Andy Rooney said on 60 Minutes that he had one typewriter for 50 years and has bought seven computers in six years. Anything we can do to counter the premature junking of computers would be a good thing.

We have a computer doctor (best term I can come up with) who visits, or can remotely access and check our computer, and make any adjustments. He recently ran into a problem that he couldn't fix, and so we had to upgrade. But he took our old computer and gave it to a small law firm that needed a computer for word processing only. Now that is a good green advisor!

This project clearly has benefits at many levels.
