Computing devices often face a trade off between performance

• Computing devices often face a trade off between performance and power source – the higher the performance, the more it will require from the power source. It’s easy to overlook this relationship with a device that is plugged into an AC outlet, but the necessity of a power source remains - computing devices are nothing without their electricity. What environmental and economic factors should be considered for the development and usage of computing devices given that they require electricity to function?

Q2
