Very little cost.  :)   Computers use very little power, and electrical power is cheap.  If you left your computer on 24 hours a day, you're probably using roughly 10 cents of electricity in a day.  Turning it on and off is hard on the hard drive.  Good rule of thumb is to turn it on when you go to use it, and leave it on the remainder of the day until you're done with it for the day.  You can turn on and off the screen, that'll increase your screen life.  But turning it on and off a lot puts stress on the hard drive.  Mostly leave it on once it's on.

you can also try running virus scan and spyware removal, to get rid of all the junk that is using your system resources without your knowledge, also if you are running windows xp or 2000 press ctrl, alt, delete and bring up the task manager, go to the processes tab and see what is actually running on your system and how much memory usage each program is running, if you see something that is using a large chunk of memory and you know for absolutely certain that it is not a vital program for your operating system, like explorer, shut it down if you arent using it, you can also run through the add/remove programs list in control panel and remove programs that you will never use that run in the background while your computer is on, there are a lot of little tweaks you can do to take advantage of what little ram you have

In my opinion, its because of there isn't much use of computer there. Most of them (native africans for example) are using traditional way of getting things done. Another case might be that there are not many ways to get a computer. Maybe because there are no electricity, no telephone cable connection, etc. \n\nHope this helps. This are merely opinions

Based on the hundreds of systems I have seen.\n\nMost people never install anything that takes up any significant amount of space.\n\nQuite a few of the computers I have seen are running with 80+% of their hard disk free. \n\nALmost all computers I have seen have had greater than 50% of their space free.\n\nThe thing is people who actually fill their computers with stuff, are normaly very computer skilled, and usualy dont have to call me. =)  But, as a general rule those are 1 in 10 maybe 1 in 7 of the computer users in the world\n\nThe most common hard disk size I have seen lately is between 40 and 120 GB's.

are you talking about the cpu? laptops don't need it because they squeeze the cpu into the tiny space under the keyboard. that's why laptops are generally more expensive and sometimes don't last as long.

Computers are showing up everywhere you look, and even in places you can't see. Computers check out your groceries, pump your gas, dispense money at the ATM, turn the heat on and off, control the way your car runs. They're everywhere! They're everywhere!\n\nGo to this website.... It seems to have a step by step informations and lessons about computers! Good luck!

Today's world is a computer world because we rely on the computer to do everything, even to breathe. We use it for communication like this forum, we use it to help disabled people like me type by using voice recognition software. There is a program in my math class that we used to solve problems instead of doing it on paper. All sorts of stuff.

computers ONLY increase productivity if people know how to use them properly, otherwise they actual decrease productivity for about 6 months til the user is up to speed

And this has what to do with computers?

you asked a mouth full with this question.  The top reasons for computer reasons are:\n1.  running too many programs at the same time.  Look at the bottom right corner of your screen near the clock.  Every icon there is a program loaded into your computer's RAM.  Each one takes up resources and processor time.\n2.  Running conflicting programs.  Trying to run 2 different anti-virus programs, 2 firewalls, or any 2 programs that may use the same files at the same time.\n3.  Running old or out of date programs.  Programs with known bugs can have what are called "Memory Leaks".  a Memory Leak is a condition in which the computer is somehow prevented or tricked from releasing a program from RAM.  These resources become wasted.  When you restart your computer it clears everything in RAM which is why restarting can fix the problem.\n\npossible fixes:\n1.  run anti-spyware programs regularly.  try Adaware which is a simple and free program.\n2.  run disk defragmentor and scan disk at LEAST once a month.  Boot the computer into safe mode and run these tools from there for best results.\n3.  click start>run> type in "MSconfig" without the quotes>check the startup tab.  Look at the programs listed there and disable some from starting with your computer.  if your not sure what a program does do an internet search for the program name.  Make sure that at least two reputable looking sites give the same information about that program.\n4.  CALL FOR HELP!  every computer technician can provide a service to help you clean things up.  look in your phone book and stay away from over priced corporate services like Geek Squad.

It all counts.  If you're on the internet, you're using some of it. Web sites, graphics, files, everything.  It all counts.
