Abstract

With the rapid development of computer and its correlation techniques, the discarded computers are becoming a growing burden to the modern society. The Green IT advocate the green design, but the appropriate time you discard your computer isn’t done in-depth research. This essay puts its effort on computer component update and maintenance work. Firstly we will calculate the environmental cost caused by each period of the life cycle of computers, then draw a contrast between the cost of reusing the computer after maintenance and of replacing a new one, in order to figure out the optimal time at which the life cycle of computer product ends. And Environmental cost reach the lowest.
