Data centers and smartphones will be the most damaging information and communications technologies to the environment by 2040, according to new research from Canadian reseacher Lotfi Belkhir.
根据加拿大研究人员卢特菲·贝尔希尔的最新研究,到2040年,数据中心和智能手机将是对环境最具破坏力的信息和通信技术(ICT)。
Belkhir says, "ICT will account for as much as 14% for the total global footprint by 2040."
贝尔希尔表示:“到2040年,ICT将占到全球碳足迹总量的14%。”
Among all the devices, trends suggest that by 2020, the most damaging devices to the environment are smartphones.
趋势表明,到2020年,智能手机将是所有设备中对环境危害最大的。
While smartphones consume little energy to operate, 85% of their emissions impact comes from production.
智能手机虽然运行能耗少, 但其85%的排放都来自于生产环节。
A smartphone's chip and motherboard require the most amount of energy to produce as they are made up of precious metals that are mined at a high cost.
生产智能手机的芯片和主板最耗能,因为它们由稀有金属制成,开采这些金属需要付出高昂代价。
Smartphones also have a short life, which drives further production of new models and an extraordinary amount of waste.
智能手机的寿命也很短,这推动了新机型的进一步生产并制造了海量垃圾。
