Introduction
I will discuss the current and future applications of cooling methods, more specifically related to cooling computer chips, such as CPU's. First I will discuss current applications of chip cooling commonly used today. Next, I show how current and future applications of computer chip cooling affect security in the information technology field. After that, I will connect this technology with its ethical and social implications. Finally, I will discuss where this technology will be heading in the future. In conclusion, computer chip cooling is an essential element to current and future computing power.
