As our homes have become increasingly technological, more people have powered devices that remain permanently on. These help to drive up power bills, and to consume more fossil fuels than is necessary.

There are a number of items that continue to draw power, even when not in use. TV sets now commonly will have a standby mode, that doesn’t actually turn the TV off.

Instead it puts it into a low power drain mode that leaves the TV ready to turn on quickly, without the normal delays associated with starting the TV from cold. It also means that it can be turned on by remote control, which cannot be done when a TV is using no power at all.

The average cell phone has a screen size of two or three inches at most, yet a small tablet will have a seven inch viewing screen, and larger models will have a full ten inches, making viewing video easier. The resolution of a tablet is also far better, making details more crisp and clear. Read the rest of this entry →
