Carbon-based computing
From a presentation I heard this morning. I didn’t catch the attributions:
2.1% of worldwide power is used by data centers
The power consumed by Google’s servers could power Chicago for a year, and equals the carbon sequestering of 250,000 trees.
Apparently, Dole puts a code on its produce that you can enter into a Web page to see a Google Earth image of the farm that produced it
