Advantages Of 3R And Computer Repair

By Adriana Noton

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 Waste heirarchy pyramid (in successively decreasing order of desirability of principles ) is to Prevent, to Minimise, to Reduce, to Reuse, to Recycle, to Recover and to Dispose. Reduce is the primary and the most favoured of three R s. Reduce includes the principle Re - think . To put it straight, reduce refers to being wary of your resource spending.

Next in the line is reuse. It includes repair. It can be aptly described as using already used articles over again. People do not usually attach much importance to this principle. Tossing away and then forgetting is way easier than taking the care to analyze if it has future use potential.

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.

Recycling is the last of the three Rs . Waste should not be recycled blindly.Reuse has to be considered first because recycling consumes energy. Plastic containers, glass bottles and old newspapers are among the most recycled materials. The major distinction between recycle and reuse is that recycle makes an object usable only after you use some energy on it.

Computer repair basically falls in the Reuse category of Waste Hierarchy. Computer parts are one of the most mismanaged wastes. What happens to a keyboard once it begins slurring its type? You throw it out. The same fate is met by computer mice, modems, UPS (es) etc.

Individual users especially do not pay slightest of heed to repairs. Only, companies have to engage computer and electronic repair services to minimise working costs. These repair remedies are very simple (for an instance if the key board adds its own typos, turn it over & tap a few times. The keys will get unstuck from the bases) but engaging repair help seemingly consumes a whole lot of time. Therefore, we just buy it new during the lunch hour the next day.

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.
