Nature-Inspired Technology gets a Green Thumbs Up

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

It looks like the newest thing in technology is getting back to nature. Mother Earth would be proud of these recently debuted gadgets that are seeking an earthier look. I guess we could have seen this coming, with the rising level of environmental concern, but there’s no denying that we were pretty surprised when we found not one, but several wooden cell phones. Here’s a peek at some of the newest, most natural gadgets around.

Dell Studio HybridThe Dell Studio Hybrid Desktop is “Dell’s greenest, most power-efficient consumer desktop” and if you choose the Bamboo external for the computer (for an extra $130), everyone will know you, too, are pretty green. This diminutive desktop also comes in six jewel-tone colors, but I think the natural vibe you get with this bamboo option makes more of a statement. Still not green enough for you? Dell also offers your choice of either free recycling of your old PC, or for an additional $6 you can purchase the planting of a tree to “offset the carbon dioxide emissions generated to power your new system.”

This one really caught us off guard. While I’ve been searching for cell phones that use environmentally-friendly methods of manufacture and preserve energy life, wooden cell phones have entered the market. This Maple Wooden Phone looks like a block of wood until you touch it, and offers a camera and an mP3 player, along with typical texting and calling functions. Surprisingly enough, this phone is not alone in the wooden phone market - we also found the LG Shine Wood - which, while not made of wood, sports a wood-like exterior. This only-released-in-Korea phone features top-of-the-line features in an eco-chic package.
