Go Green - Save Power of Your Computer using SONAR !!

SONAR technology is used by most of the ships and steamers to measure the depth of ocean or to locate any object  deep inside water. This technology is same as that used by bats who use it to get directions in dark places. Now, in this technology, a sound wave is sent inside the ocean which gets reflected at some point. The time between sent and reflected wave is noted and based on this distance can be calculated. You can also determine shape of any object using this technique.
This technique can be used to save power of your computer. Well, you will need two speakers, a built in microphone and a SONAR software which can be downloaded from below:


You download and install the software. Now, this software, when run determines your position in front of your computer. If you are not there, then it turns off the display of your computer which saves quite a lot of power.
I highly recommend this to offices where there is a large amount of power consumption. When the worker is not at his desk, the power of monitor/LCD turns off automatically and when he is back, it turns on.
I have myself tried this software and it works wonders! Be sure you check it too!
