It was a cold morning, I went to school and attended our Management Information system(MIS) 2 class. That day was scheduled for the assigned reporters to deliver their respective topics. But because of some technical problems the reports where delayed so our professor decided to share something.
He gave us so many realizations that day. The first where more on the trend in the development of the information era. That because of the current advancements of technology, our world that is thought of as round is technically flat. This statement originated from the idea that because unlike before, people nowadays has equal access to limitless information. This means that anyone of us will find any information reachable, giving us the power to know what we want to and use these knowledge for the good of all. These ideas thrilled and motivated me more to listen closely to our professor. And i was stunned as a point came where he shared about our contribution to the environment. I came to realize that as IT practitioners. We must not let technology to continue in backfiring us with negative side effects. We must find ways to not just minimize but eliminate the negative effects that technology brought, bearing in mind that technology was developed for only good intentions. Maybe we do not have the capacity to deliver big solutions at this time but at least we are taking the first step. The green campus computing idea for me is great. It may be simple if we look at it, but if implemented, this campaign will give great results maybe not visible today but helpful for securing the future generations ahead of us.
As a support to this campaign, I scheduled my computer use at home and I encourage my friends and neighbors to do so as well.
