Technology News And Updates, Digital World News And Information, Gadgets News And Updates,Consumer Electronics Show,Environment Friendly Products

Posted on 20th February 2011 in Consumer Electronic

The relationship between manufacturers of Consumer electronics and environmentalists is similar to that between George W Bush and Saddam Hussein. No matter how much the latter tries to convince the former, he would not succeed.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held in Las Vegas this week threw many good surprises in the form of environment friendly electronic products. Yet, the green brigade is still not convinced that the industry is taking the environment any more seriously than the way Israel takes UN resolutions. And even if the recession in United States, which has had a domino effect in global economy, resulted in less number of people visiting the CES this year, manufacturers like Toshiba and LG have tried to put their greenest foot forward in the show.
Japanese electronics manufacturer, Toshiba recently unveiled its Super Charger battery during the show. Being long lasting, it is being promoted as a product which would save energy, thereby bringing down the need to produce more energy which would obviously result in less CO2 getting dispersed in the atmosphere. The other product which specifically designed to cut energy costs was the LG’s 32-inch TV. According to the company, the new product would require 50 percent less power than the conventional 32-inch LCD TV.

In addition to being responsible for, either directly or indirectly releasing gases into the atmosphere, consumer electronics are the major source of e-waste. Hence, in order to address that problem, mobile phone manufacturer, Motorola recently released its new cell phone made of plastic which contains the plastic recovered by recycling water bottles.  Read more...

Stay Warm With Electronic Gadgets

Posted on 16th August 2010 in Office Electronic

Turning up the furnace in the middle of winter will keep the house warm but it can also burn a hole in the pocket book. While gas prices tend to be higher than electric prices there are several more affordable ways to stay warm using electricity rather than gas.

 Electronic heating gadgets are usually small, very versatile and easy to use. Many of them can be used both at home and at the office. A couple of electric devices that can be used at home include a heated mattress pad or a heated body pillow.

 Many households turn their heat down at night since the entire house will not be used and it’s a great way to save money. When the bedroom starts to get cold a good way to stay toasty is to use a heated mattress pad. Heated mattress pads can be controlled to a range of temperatures while some even have dual controls so each person using it can set their comfort level. Many heated mattress pads also come equipped with safety features that help avoid electronic malfunctions by monitoring the voltage and current. They can also add comfort to your bed with thick padding that will cover up the feel of the electrical wires.  Read more...
