That way all the small companies will off their computers to save costs and increase their computer's lifespans
On the contrary it used to be the opposite way! As in, the more u off and on the computer, the shorter its lifespan will be. This is because of the constant heating and cooling that is caused due to switching on and and off. The constant heating and cooling causes expansion and contraction of the elements on the chip/board/whatever/anything which obviously isn't good as it tends to wear off the object sooner or later.
But the new technology in our computers made that "worry" a thing of the past. So technically speaking, nowadays, it really doesn't matter whether u leave your computer on 24/7 or u switch it off la.. The lifespan still remains about the same.
And thats y, I don't switch off my hp.
