Recently a group of scientists warned that every time we check our social networks, reproduce videos or send an email over the Internet we are spending huge amounts of water. If you are reading well "Water" π§
This information was released just at a time when there is a severe shortage of this vital substance on the planet. We all know her! π§
According to the warnings made by the scientists of the Imperial College of London (England) in 2015 up to 200 liters of the precious liquid could have been spent downloading a single gigabyte (GB) of data ... what? It is something incredible, not if it is incredible but true.
This is an impressive figure given that in 2015, an average mobile phone user in Western Europe generated 1.9 GB of data every month, while an American user consumed 3.7 GB, according to information from Ericsson.
It is impressive how much water is spent during Internet browsing due to the high energy consumption required by the data exchange process, the air conditioning of the data centers that manage and store the servers, and the operational maintenance of all the electronic elements of these facilities.
This great uncertainty, in turn, has led to a detailed investigation of the water footprint on the Internet and the impact on the environment that may cause ... It is very useful to make a preliminary study to begin to review the problem.
What do you think about the subject? Internet or planet? Does it really consume so much of the vital liquid? leave me your answer in the comments
