Digital Carbon Footprint : Must Know, Must Be Aware

Data transfer, use and production of digital devices causes more CO₂ emissions than one might expect. These emissions are summarised under the terms “digital CO₂ footprint” or “digital carbon footprint”.

ডিজিটাল ডিভাইসের উৎপাদন, ব্যবহার এবং ডেটা স্থানান্তর কারও প্রত্যাশার চেয়ে বেশি CO₂ নির্গমন ঘটায়। এই নির্গমনগুলি "ডিজিটাল CO₂ পদচিহ্ন" বা "ডিজিটাল কার্বন পদচিহ্ন" পদগুলির অধীনে সংক্ষিপ্ত করা হয়েছে।

The Carbon Footprint of our gadgets amounts of 3.7% of global greenhouse emissions, which is more than the amount produced by the aviation industry, and it is set to double by 2025

A five hour video call between people in different countries could produce up to 215kg CO2

Sending a SMS text is apparently the most environmentally friendly way of conversing. Only emit 0.014g of CO2. But sending a single Selfie on WhatsApp can emit 5g of CO2. Which is more than a regular email.

A study done by OVO energy in 2019 found that if every adult in UK sent one less thank you email a day it would save nearly 16,500 tonnes of CO2 a year.

Global carbon footprint management market

Netflix :

Every minute, the world streams

1.1M hours = 4120 tons Co2

It's equivalent to driving 896 cars for a whole year.

Emails:

Every minute, the world sends

203 million emails = 816 tons Co2

same as taking 494 flights from LA to London.

We cannot neglect the difference we can make individually especially when it comes to our social media habits

Challenges, Women are facing in the tech industry & solutions

There is a significant lack of IT professionals. Only 13% of the workforce in the IT sector are women. Only 1% of the ICT companies in the country are led by women. If I had one word to describe it, it would be "prejudice". Significant Challenges: Criticism & judgements Security issues Families and teachers discourage girls from pursuing challenging jobs in technology because girls are told that they are not supposed to be good at this subject. Stereotypes, lack of proper balance between employment and family care. Some challenges are related to the working environment. Gender bais, credibility is another issue women face when they try to get into the IT sector. And the male dominated climate. Continue to block women's progress in the IT sector. I see myself as being part of the solutions to this challenge in following ways - 1. IT scholarship may be a convenient motivation to create awareness among students. 2. Some proper steps for the working women t...

All image formats

When you take a photograph, the camera is capturing data, which creates a digital image. But there are many different types of image file formats that can be retrieved and edited using post-processing software. The most commonly-used formats are: JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) RAW DNG (Digital Negative Format) PNG (Portable Network Graphics) GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) BMP (Bitmap Image File) PSD (Photoshop Document) Choosing the right file format is important and can even be critical, depending on the level of quality – and the level of post-processing – that you require. Now, to help you better understand the different file formats, and to ensure that you pick the right format for your needs, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide. It covers the pros and cons of using each image file format – so that, by the time you’re finished, you’ll be able to select the perfect format with ease!
