Resumen

En el presente trabajo se describe la contribución, tanto negativa como positiva, de las Tecnologías de la Información y de las Comunicaciones (TIC) en el incremento del consumo de energía eléctrica y, en consecuencia, sus efectos medioambientales. Se incluye un análisis sobre la evolución y las tendencias del consumo global de las TIC, se define el límite inferior teórico del coste energético del procesamiento por bit de información, y se presentan estimaciones del consumo medio real, tanto por procesamiento como por transmisión a través de redes de datos. También se enumeran los frentes abiertos para paliar el problema. Se hace hincapié en que, para contribuir beneficiosamente a reducir el aumento del consumo energético debe considerarse como parámetro fundamental la eficiencia energética y, al hacer los diseños y evaluaciones de los sistemas informáticos, no hay que centrarse sólo en el tiempo de ejecución, la precisión de los resultados y la comodidad de la interfaz de usuario. Es responsabilidad del profesorado universitario transmitir estos conocimientos y concienciar del problema a los futuros profesionales dentro de los planes de estudio y las materias correspondientes.
