Some intesting musing from Kevin Kelly

http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/archiv...much_power.php


"The 868 billion kilowatt hours consumed by the global internet equals
about 5.3% of the total electrical consumption of the world. This One
Machine eats 5% of our electricity. Now.

Since it is the fastest growing machine we have known, the One Machine
will continue to consume an increasing percentage of available resources
-- power, water, money, and the most precious commodity of all, human
time."
