He Gadget: I hate those increasing electric bills. Is it just the increasing cost of electricity or is it our use of electronics? When I think about it we have many electronics on (or on standby) even when we aren’t using them; PS2, Wii, DVD, desk top PC, 2 lap tops, etc. How much is this costing us? The Kill-A-Watt tells me how much electricity each device is using and I can figure out how much it is costing me.
Want the kids to remember to turn off the lights or PS2? Tell them you’ll deduct the electricity usage from their allowance. Better yet, if they are old enough, give them the data and have them figure out how much it costs. Then they will remember.
