This study investigates how the new release of MacBook Pro I/O devices affects the obsolescence of related accessories. We also explore how these accessories will impact the environment and the economic consequences. As technology…
This paper analyzes the proportion of Input/output devices made obsolete by changes in technology generations. This obsolescence may be by new software/hardware generations rendering otherwise functional devices unusable. Concluding with…
As environmental concerns mostly drive the electrification of our economy and the corresponding increase in demand for battery storage systems, information about the potential environmental impacts of the different battery systems is…
The global production of electric goods is at an all-time high, causing negative environmental and health impacts as well as a continuing depletion of natural resources. Considering the worsening global climate change, a transition of…
Battery safety is important, yet safety limits are normally static and do not evolve as batteries degrade. Consequently, many battery systems are overengineered to meet increasingly stringent safety demands. In this work we show that…
With the advance of industrial mass production, modern micro-electronics and computers, the intervals between the release of new generations of consumer products have been dramatically reduced and so have their lifetime cycles. While it was…
This study explores the intersection of technological innovation and environmental sustainability in the context of Bitcoin mining. With Bitcoin's growing adoption, concerns surrounding the energy consumption and environmental impact of…
The recent democratization of personal fabrication has significantly advanced the maker movement and reshaped applied research in HCI and beyond. However, this growth has also raised increasing sustainability concerns, as material waste is…
The rapid evolution of wearable technology marks a transformative phase in human-computer interaction, seamlessly integrating digital functionality into daily life. This paper explores the historical trajectory, current advancements, and…
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a methodology for holistically measuring the environmental impact of a product from initial manufacturing to end-of-life disposal. However, the extent to which LCA informs the design of computing devices…
Charging electric vehicles (EVs) with renewable energy can lessen their environmental impact. However, the fluctuating availability of renewable energy affects the sustainability of public EV charging stations. Nearby public charging…
Wearable devices are a trending topic in both commercial and academic areas. Increasing demand for innovation has led to increased research and new products, addressing new challenges and creating profitable opportunities. However, despite…
Telecommunication networks have become as critical to the 21st century development as were railways, roads and canals, to the 19th Century developments and is now seen as enabler to a more sustained business, environment and society as a…
The interaction of a space system with its orbital environment is a major consideration in the design of any space system, since a variety of hazards are associated with the operation of spacecraft in the harsh space environment. In this…
Every year, millions of functional systems become e-waste because users are pressured to send their systems to landfills due to a lack of vendor support and difficulty in recycling. Vendors cite ``cybersecurity'' as the driver for short…
Given recent algorithm, software, and hardware innovation, computing has enabled a plethora of new applications. As computing becomes increasingly ubiquitous, however, so does its environmental impact. This paper brings the issue to the…
The global shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) as a sustainable alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars has triggered a significant rise in the demand for lithium-ion batteries. However, as the adoption of EVs grows, the issue of…
In the era of sustainable transportation, the significance of electric vehicles (EVs) and their battery technology is becoming increasingly paramount. This study addresses the critical aspect of EV battery reliability, an essential factor…
The implications of technological innovation for sustainability are becoming increasingly complex with information technology moving machines from being mere tools for production or objects of consumption to playing a role in economic…
Abstract: The rising global temperatures caused by climate change significantly impact energy consumption and electricity generation. Fluctuating temperatures and frequent extreme weather events disrupt energy production and consumption…
