An energy-conserving computer or information communication apparatus comprising keep-alive communication circuitry, keep-alive memory circuitry, keep-alive control means, and keep-alive operating instructions for establishing instant communications without consuming main energy. Preferably, a power source carried on a signal-transmitting phone line or cable is used as keep-alive power. Also provided is an energy-conserving operating system capable of entering an energy-conserving operating state in addition to the normal operating state and the sleep, off, or standby state. Consequently, for the first time, the energy-conserving communication apparatuses or computers can stay normally offline (like telephones) for establishing instant and universal communications therebetween via the Internet, and allow to proceed with the download of communication information in the energy-conserving operating state similar to the conventional sleep state, without entering the power-consuming normal operating state.
