The Internet Before and After
The Internet Before and After
The internet born in 1969 same year when man step on the moon ,Four (4) american universities collaborated on a project called the Advanced Projects Agency Network (ARPANET).
(University of California Los Angeles, Stanford Research Institute, University of California Santa Barbara, and University of Utah) Since the released of ARPANET , military control this in 1984.
In Every year past, he Internet has increased its power from trafficking information at 56 kilobytes per second to 7.6 megabytes per second. but today user can upload more Bytes of Files, Videos, Music and other documents Via social media sites or emails inbox and storage online.aside from user demands more and more businessman at companies put them ship over the line to compete they sales and marketing.

The byte is a unit of digital information in computing and telecommunications that most commonly consists of eight bits.
Base-2 System and the 8-bit Byte
-
The reason computers use the base-2 system is because it makes it a lot easier to implement them with current electronic technology. You could wire up and build computers that operate in base-10, but they would be fiendishly expensive right now. On the other hand, base-2 computers are relatively cheap.
So computers use binary numbers, and therefore use binary digits in place of decimal digits. The word bitis a shortening of the words "Binary digIT." Whereas decimal digits have 10 possible values ranging from 0 to 9, bits have only two possible values: 0 and 1. Therefore, a binary number is composed of only 0s and 1s, like this: 1011. How do you figure out what the value of the binary number 1011 is? You do it in the same way we did it above for 6357, but you use a base of 2 instead of a base of 10. So:
(1 * 2^3) + (0 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (1 * 2^0) = 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 11
You can see that in binary numbers, each bit holds the value of increasing powers of 2. That makes counting in binary pretty easy. Starting at zero and going through 20, counting in decimal and binary looks like this:
0 = 0
1 = 1
2 = 10
3 = 11
4 = 100
5 = 101
6 = 110
7 = 111
8 = 1000
9 = 1001
10 = 1010
11 = 1011
12 = 1100
13 = 1101
14 = 1110
15 = 1111
16 = 10000
17 = 10001
18 = 10010
19 = 10011
20 = 10100
Bits are rarely seen alone in computers. They are almost always bundled together into 8-bit collections, and these collections are called bytes. Why are there 8 bits in a byte? A similar question is, "Why are there 12 eggs in a dozen?" The 8-bit byte is something that people settled on through trial and error over the past 50 years.
With 8 bits in a byte, you can represent 256 values ranging from 0 to 255, as shown here:
0 = 00000000
1 = 00000001
2 = 00000010
...
254 = 11111110
255 = 11111111

When you start talking about lots of bytes, you get into prefixes like kilo, mega and giga, as in kilobyte, megabyte and gigabyte (also shortened to K, M and G, as in Kbytes, Mbytes and Gbytes or KB, MB and GB). The following table shows the binary multipliers:

How To Reduce your PC Power Consumption
Sometime in this day everyone wants a great and most powerful computer system that money can offer ,but we didn't notice the disadvantage of this power system, when running 24/7 when downloading games or playing ,that's what we made for,to take top of the latest games and trending over the internet.

i found this article over the net How Much Does Your PC Cost To Run? from http://www.bit-tech.net/ they show the power consumption scenario
Technology Slogan
i found this article over the net How Much Does Your PC Cost To Run? from http://www.bit-tech.net/ they show the power consumption scenario
This is a simple math computation
Assuming a worst case scenario of the PC being left in standby for every hour of every day in a month, and using the standard dual fuel, quarterly billing electricity tariff for central London from Southern Electric
Costly isn't it ?
This recent year computer hardware manufacturer searching how to ease down of high power consumption without sacrificing power performance ,
maybe casual user can be make a simple remedy on this, we know an addicted person on FB (https://www.facebook.com/) must login and updated 5x a day.
in the bad sad gamers are need time to develop a less power computer system due for high graphics and speed need on games .
So the key on this problem is your method or your habit on how to use your machine.
Tips on how to low down your Computer Electricity power consumption:
Lets start to hardware base
1,CPU Central Processing Unit called also a brain , The brain need more power to make your PC smart and dual task at the time ,a 2nd huge power user on all the parts averaging 100W (up to 150W in some high end CPUs) the Tips on this is upgrade it get more cores in the single yes that' true newer model got a power management features, more cores the better, if you’ll have more cores, then your load management will decrease,For example, if you have a single core CPU in full load (100%) it will use a great amount of power do work. If you have a quad core CPU (4 cores), each core only works at ~25%, so there you go. Your CPU will work at 25% load, that means lower temperature, a longer life for your CPU and less power consumed.
2.Bios built in power management(Bios Features),Open your bios by pressing DEL key and go to the power options.
- C1E
- AMD Cool’n’Quiet
- Virtualization
- Intel SpeedStep
- ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, where you will find 2 options: S1, it stands for “Sleep” and S3 “which stands for Hibernate”)If you have access to these features, then it would be good to enable them for better power management The less power it requires, the lower the temperature, lesser the coolers have to work and therefore, the CPU saves power.
- Use Undervoltage is feature is very helpful you can set you vcore voltage for your cpu Say, your CPU works at 2.375V, an undervoltage would mean making it work at 1.965V, or even less.but be aware on this setting if not set properly machine cause a BSOS or bluescreen of death ref my post about BSOD http://www.techytrez.com/2014/05/how-to-fix-blue-screen-on-pc-and-laptop.html
4.Huge Hardisk capacity,yes a better and bigger hardisk can saves power How can a bigger HDD save more power? Well, the answer is simple when you know how a HDD works.And so, in order to access that information, the reading head has to move on the entire occupied surface of the disk. Now, let’s imagine I have a 500GB HDD. The HDD is full and I want to watch a movie. The reading head of the HDD has to piece together the entire movie from the entire surface of the disk. That means that it has to move up and down the entire disk in order to read the information and find my movie. Now let’s imagine I want to watch the same movie on a 1TB HDD. Now, with 500GB, the HDD is only half full, the reading head has to move on only 50% of the disk in order to find the same information. That is half the distance it has to travel, which equals in less energy used.you can also try this
- Raid method
- SSD Provides Speed and Silence,SSD (Solid State Drives)
Again consult your pro before your doing this method
5. Power Supply this part is the best bet on How To Reduce your PC Power Consumption Older PSUs is not very efficient that means they only use 50% of the power drained from the socket to actually power your PC, the rest is wasted with heat Newer PSUs have 80-90% efficiency, An added bonus of using a bigger and more efficient PSU is that it can power more equipment, so you won’t have to upgrade it when you upgrade your computer.
6, CRT monitors use lots of power, so if you have one, it might be time to think of upgrading to a LCD or LED monitor, that uses less power and does not hurt your eyes as much, or even to a LED backlit monitor, which has the best image quality available and the best power management possible. LED monitors are the best power savers of all displays.
Now Look down you PC used habit:
1. External hardware Even if you do not use the, the peripherals use power when in idle mode. External HDDs,printers, speakers and anything else uses power even if you do not use them. The best thing is to unplug them when you do not use them.
2.Stop your Computer goes idle If you are not using your computer, then you might want to put it on sleep or hibernate. Sleep uses less power than idle mode simply because it partially shuts down your computer. Although your computer is not powered off, it uses less power because the sleep mode keeps only the necessary components “awake”.

Sleep uses less power than idle mode simply because it partially shuts down your computer. Although your computer is not powered off, it uses less power because the sleep mode keeps only the necessary components “awake”.
An even better way to reduce power consumption is to put your computer on hibernate when not in use. This freezes your last known configuration and stores it in the RAM memory. That is why the amount of RAM memory you have will be taken out of your HDD. Hibernate is the best way, short of unplugging your PC, to reduce its power drain.
3. Energy Efficient parts/products You can see that these products have the Energy Efficient logo, and that means that the product has been tested and it uses less energy than a regular one. So look for the blue logo whenever buying a new product. You’re also helping mother nature with this choice.
4. Use Substitutes Yes, if you have to send an email, or something that does not require a high performance machine, try using your smartphone or tablet to do so. Even your Laptop, they all consumeless energy than your computer and they all get the job done. These are the main tweaks and upgrades you can make on the hardware of your computer to make it more energy efficient. Keep in mind that if you do only 1 or 2 of these, you might not see a big difference on your electrical bill.
Software Remedy
In the software part, you do not have as many options as on the hardware part. But they can make a difference.
1. WINDOWS POWER PLANS
If you configure your computer to enter sleep or hibernate when idle, dim your display or close your display, then you might save some power when not using it. But, if you have downloads or other tasks, then you can program your computer to sleep and wake up according to your schedule. This option is available from BIOS, under Power-Up.
2. POWER PLAN SOFTWARES
You might want to check out PowerSlave, this program can automatically change your power plans according to the load of your computer. For instance, it will use Power Save for emailing, web browsing or typing, and automatically switch to Performance Mode when you start playing a game. Or, you can use WakeUpOnStandby app to put your computer to sleep and wake according to a predefined schedule.
Powerslave
WakeupOnstandby
3. CLOSE BACKGROUND PROGRAMS
This will make the load on your PC lesser. And that mean a lower load on your CPU, therefore, lower power consumption. Here, Task Manager is your best friend for closing those programs. You will be surprised too see how much do some programs eat up.
4. DON’T USE SOFTWARES THAT EAT RESOURCES
For instance, VLC Player will reduce the load of your CPU when playing a video, as opposed to Windows Media Player. Also, IE8 has a lesser impact on your CPU than other web browsers, but, then again, it’s not that secure. Let’s hope that Internet Explorer 10 in Windows 8 will make a better job.
5. DO NOT USE SCREEN SAVERS
Yes, that’s right, screen savers use power, as specially graphic intensive screensavers. You are better off dimming your display or just closing the monitor when in stand by. If you are using an old CRT monitor, then until you change to an LCD or LED, try to avoid coloured desktop backgrounds or screensavers. It has been shown that black images reduce a CRT’s power consumption.
Be wise and smart on spending
