Terrific topic. However, does disinformation count?
How about unauthorised copies of information, or even authorised copies?
As I tend to believe the perpetrated disinformation and vast
reproductions of such crapolla far outweighs the truth and nothing but
the truth, perhaps by at least a ten fold factor, and then some.
Most high resolution video is entirely artificial to start with, or
summarily modified to suit whatever the mainstream status quo desires,
as for that we're talking google tera bytes worth, and that's just the
smut portion. The digital music archives and vast copies distributed is
another appalling fiasco having no end in sight.
Therefore, how much honest information do we actually need?
How much global energy is going into the creation, conversions,
archiving, publishing, distributing and educational aspects of said
information?
The global internet and of it's online and off-line users are consuming
how many gigawatts/hr?
