The 21st century has in many ways been defined as the century of innovation, especially in the emergent field of technology, and science has been an essential contributor to this. Electricity has been an important factor to invention. Static electricity is a form of electricity that has enabled the creation of printers, spray paint, pollutant removers and photocopiers. In this essay, I will discuss static electricity, photocopiers, and how they play a role in the speed of mass-production. I will also illustrate the photocopier’s advantages and disadvantages, and its implication for society.
The well -known phrase “opposites attract” is derived from physics and polarity. Everything that surrounds us is made of atoms, which are composed of

Photocopiers entertain built-in hard drives that are comprised of confidential project information. Even if one gets a private area to copy confidential documents, the documents remain stored in the photocopier (fig 6). Therefore it is necessary to decommission the copier and clear the hard drive before someone else uses it, so that the previous information cannot be accessed .
Photocopiers play a role, even if indirectly, in impacting the environment. We are increasingly living in an era of pollution and scarcity of fundamental resources. One of these important and overused resources are trees. The paper making process places burden on some of our most important natural resources, as the production of paper uses large amounts of energy and water. The photocopying process also uses chemicals, such as chlorine, , which can cause damage to the environment. In addition, The United Nations Environment Programed (UNEP), has stated that paper in landfills can produce toxic greenhouse gases such as methane, which traps up to 21 times more heat than carbon dioxide . To reduce some of this negative impact, double-sided printing was introduced; it consumes less paper and waste, double-sided printing is more environmentally friendly and economically sound. It also speeds up the mass-producing
If the office gets new computers the manager needs to make sure the old computers are destroyed in a manner that will not allow anyone to retrieve information from the
The procedures that need to be followed when retrieving information for paper based information consist of finding out whether you are allowed access to the information, finding out where the information is stored if you are allowed access to it, looking for the information, taking it from its storage place remembering how it was stored for when the information is to be put back. The procedures that need to be followed when deleting information for paper based information consist of finding out if the information is confidential or not normally something that is confidential has address or names on it, if the information is confidential then it needs to be cross-cut shredded if the information is not confidential then it can be shredded normally. The procedures that need to be followed when archiving information for electronic based information consist of checking to see if the information contains legal information or long-term business obligations, checking to see if there is more than one copy of the information, if there is more than one copy of the information check to see if the extra copies can be deleted, if the
There is a popular saying that “opposites attract.” The statement is genuinely correct and relatable, despite the fact that many poets, book writers, and even celebrities do not agree. Several claim that opposites don't attract, and that only alike things are attracted to one another. However, this is untrue - for example, north poles attract south poles. They are similar, but yet, very different. In the novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, Johnny and Dally are attracted by their countless similarities and differences.
About a million tons of paper are used every day around the world and 93% of it comes from trees. Half of municipal waste is paper. About 20,000,000 trees are cut annually. (Mittal, 2009) Trees are very important to the environment, cutting them is affecting the environment negatively. In a year for this task alone, we print a total of 2,700 pages of paper. 8 trees of 8-inch diameter and 45 feet produce 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of paper. 500 sheets of paper weights 5 pounds, which is about 1,000 to 2,000 sheets per tree. By saving 2,700 sheets of paper a year we will be saving a tree. (Schildgen,
Forty-four states and the District of Columbia had already had plans to design new tests for the 2014-2015 school year by sharing $330 million in attempt to create new online end of year and semester tests that would replace paper tests which had been used until that point. Now looking upon the 2017-2018 school year, the majority of those states have already converted to the newly created online tests, but many believe that they should have continued using the paper testing. Studies are beginning to show that reading comprehension varies drastically between the traditional paper compared to their digital mediums. Electronic mediums negatively impact a reader’s reading comprehension level when compared to paper mediums as seen through note
The second method, destruction, will also secure information found in paper or electronic format. The paper or other hard copy media must be shredded or destroyed in a manner that EHR cannot be read or otherwise reconstructed. Electronic media is to be cleared, purged or destroyed. Destruction should also be performed consistent with NIST standards (Kline, 2009).
The safeguards applied will be based on the sensitivity of the information, with the highest level of security given to the most sensitive personal information. We utilize user IDs, passwords and encryption innovation, and limit the workers and contractual workers who have access to personal information to those having a "need to know" and who are bound by confidentiality obligations in order to guarantee that information is taken care of and stored in a secret and secure way. While destroying personal information, we delete electronically stored personal information and shred any physical materials containing personal information, you acknowledge that deleted information may continue to exist on backup media but will not be used unless permitted by
Global leaders are making a turn toward sustainability and thus lessening their carbon footprint on the environment. One such company which has joined in the global change toward sustainability is International Paper Company. Paper companies have long been criticized for the harm done to the environment. Environmentalists have criticized paper companies for years because of the pollution from their manufacturing
153 billion gallons of water are used each year to pulp the trees into paper, and in the coming years this will likely be seen as a huge waste of depleting resources. As a result, we may likely end up transitioning to e-readers such as Kindles as a necessity. Given North America’s reluctance to transition to eco-friendlier production opportunities when people’s jobs would be at stake, it is unlikely that this transition will happen until it is absolutely
Opposites attract: This means that people who like different things and have different views are likely to fall in love or to become friends
The benefit of recycling on the environment is endless even if you are just recycling paper products it can be beneficial. According to a website on recycling paper and other products recycling a single run of the Sunday “New York Times” would save seventy five thousand trees. The amount of wasted land that is left behind by those seventy thousand trees. could have been a strong environment that was destroyed just for a single run of the “New York Times”. According to the same source recycling plastic saves twice as much energy as burning it in an incinerator. This energy used to burn the plastic is payed by the American people’s tax dollar that money could be saved by you just by simpling recycling. In the same source it says that approximately one billion trees worth of paper are thrown away every year in the United States this paper thrown away is sent to these giant landfills and cost millions of dollars to dispose of as where if it was recycled we could save money by not having to pay for the paper sent to landfill and save money by not having to have it burned down or stored. The average American uses eighty five million tons of paper a year; about six hundred and eighty pounds per person according to the source earlier
The destruction of forests can be extremely detrimental to plant life and animal habitats. The acceleration of global warming is one byproduct of eliminating forestry. The production of paper can also lead to adverse effects in our water supply. Large amounts of water are used in paper production, which leads to the lowering of water levels that threaten the fish population. Gases (such as those formed by Greenhouses) are emitted into the atmosphere everyday due to the huge consumption of oil and electricity. A poisonous chemical, such as chlorine, used in the bleaching process is added to help whiten paper and is released into our environment (e.g., Hoekstra et al., 2010. p.247).
While manufacturing papers we use wood pulp from trees, producing plastic requires the use of
Limit access to sensitive areas and lock rooms containing confidential data. Printed confidential data must be locked in a secure manner and shredded when finished.
Up to second half year of 2009, Canon has reduced the use of new resources by 150,000 tons and CO2 emission by 370,000 tons. Likewise, CHK from 2008 has established Ink Cartridge Collection boxes placed in voluntary schools, shopping malls, computer centres and commercial buildings. All used cartridges collected will be delivered to factory for decomposition and recycling as materials of other products.
