  • Typically, if a service worker whom I do not know looks at me funny, I have forgotten all about the experience of it within an hour. People have told me at times that I had a certain look on my face that they read one way, which I totally wasn’t intending. So I really try to not ascribe too much meaning to anyone’s reflex actions, especially because looks don’t always mean what we suspect.



  • A high-end estimate of the energy cost of data transmission is 0.1 kWh per GB. If a household uses 350 GB per month, that’s still only 35 kWh, a drop in the bucket compared to a typical household monthly energy usage that includes an electric stove, oven, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, tea kettle, air conditioner, and heater.

    The back lights that it takes to light this electric billboard probably take more electricity than the total energy cost of 3 people being online on their phone (or maybe 2 people on a laptop, or maybe 1 person on a desktop).
