3R And Computer Repair: Its Importance

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Population explosion has lead to an exponential increase in the demand for various resources all over the world. The demand is rapidly multiplying but the source with which this is to be met remain primarily limited. As such there is a state of inequilibrium. This calls for efficient waste management techniques. The three Rs are a portion of the pyramid of waste hierarchy. In this write up, we focus on understanding 3R and Computer Repair(as they are related).

The three R s stand for Reduce, Reuse and Recycle (order is crucial). Hence, the Waste Hierarchy from bottom to up is Prevention, Minimisations, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recovery, Disposal. The most basic of these three is Reduce. It implies that we should reduce the net consumption of resources.It also incorporates re- think within itself . RE- think is considered to be the fourth R by some experts. Simplifying, it is wise use of resources. Common day examples of this include turning off electric devices when not in use, repairing leaky taps, using self created compost as the garden manure.

After reduce, comes Reuse. Its most essential element is Repair. It basically urges to use already used articles again. Common day examples include using the empty side of printed paper again, handing down of clothes to younger children, reversing the sides of a paper envelope to make it into a new envelope etc.

Instances of reuse include reversing the fold of a used envelope to make it usable again, using one side photo copied paper from the other side and handing down or selling clothes that you have grown out.

Recycle is the last resort and it must be followed only after the previous two R s have been used. Recycling means creating new and useful objects from old ones. It may appear to be similar to reusing but the basic difference in recycle and reuse is that recycling uses energy whereas reusing does not. Newspapers, Glass bottles and plastic containers are some of the commonly recycled materials.

Computer repair comes under reuse and more specifically repair. Computer parts and other electronic junk are shamefully the most mismanaged of various wastes. What will you do with your keyboard if it begins slurring the typed letters? Nothing. You just chuck it out. A similar end is met by UPS (es), modems, computer mice, etc. In a very few cases the tech. Man is sent for or other commercial services sought.

It is only in rare occasional that the local tech. Guy is called or commercially available repair services sought. This is especially the problem with individuals. Companies do engage repair services in order to cut costs.

The repair solutions can be very simple(like if a key board goes slurry, turn it over and tap a few times. This will unstick keys from bases) or more complex (like virus removal) but seeking help seems to consume a lot of time. So, we buy it new in the lunch break the next day. Computer repairs can save you a lot of money. Mindless replacement of repairable electronics and computer parts is very harmful to our economies besides causing much- hyped environmental damage and change. The discarded electrical parts are not recycled properly . They continue to choke the earth. It is about time that Three R and computer repair are incorporated into our modern lifestyles.
