For this argument I've estimated there's at most 1% of humanity having
operational computers, and perhaps as many as 10% of those individual
PCs are on-line at any one time.

6.5e7 potentially active computers at 100 watts each = 6.5e9 watts, 6.5
gigawatts

10% of those PCs being on-line at 10 w/circuit requires another 65e6
watts, 65 megawatts

1:1000 internet/intranet servers and mainframes somewhat insures there's
another 65 megawatts

Avg. lighting, HVAC and transport related considerations should be worth
another 6.5 gigawatts

Thus far we've arrived at 13.130 gigawatts without involving printers,
scanners or copies of documents being reprinted and/or burned onto CDs
and DVDs. I believe global hardcopy publishing and distribution will
remain as yet another 10 fold over whatever digital aspects, thus we've
arrived at 133 gigawatts and climbing. That's 133/6.5 = 20.5 watts per
every soul upon Earth.

Of all that's being stored, transferred, shared, added to, converted
from hardcopy to digital format, of how much of all that is actually
necessary isn't 0.0001%. At least of what's on all my computers amounts
to perhaps 10 gigabytes, whereas I'd have to honestly say 100 megabytes
represents what truly matters out of all of what I've got to work with.
Unfortunately, I know a good number of folks that can't even manage
their PCs on less than 100 GB hard-drives, whereas the 200GB along with
another stash of 100+ DVDs and CDs to boot is becoming the current
minimum standard.

Going by the internet overdose of graphics, spam, smut, audio and video
sharing that's almost entirely bogus and/or unrequested, at least I've
never requested nor intentionally downloaded music or movies, and my
idea of whatever's smut would be certified by a Nun. I'd have to suggest
that perhaps at most 0.1% of the average internet traffic load is usable
and/or generally necessary for humanity to advance upon whatever's being
shared. The remainder is intellectual crapolla, disinformation or simply
bogus individuals and their governments taking every possible advantage
of snookering humanity by way of selectively sharing whatever needs to
be perpetrated, of whatever is not even theirs to share, much less
entitled.

Of photographs and ongoing document page scannings capable of 50
megabytes per frame is another obscene waste of time as well as digital
technology that's having to be stored and subsequently shared over an
already overloaded internet/intranet, causing mainframes and secondary
servers to having those arrays of essentially mega-gigabyte drives that
are already operating in compression mode to being replaced by those
1e100 (google) hard-drives (what's next? a 100,000 rpm googleplex
hard-drive that operates in H2), so that the information stalkers such
as mostly dishonest corporations, GOOGLE and of course of almost
anything NSA/DoD/CIA/FBI, British MI6 and so forth that's related to
their global domination agenda can continue keeping tabs upon every
tidbit of whatever's out there.

Thus far the information being compiled and of all the energy
consumption and resulting pollution has been escalating by a factor of
roughly 10 fold per year, of which at most 0.0001% is actually
necessary.

BTW; It takes absolute loads of energy in order to obtain, store,
transfer, share and to continually upgrade the standards by which newer
and newer computers and of everything associated (such a massive digital
displays, theater class screens and eventually millions more of various
HDTVs) must follow suit, or else you're out of the technological loop.
Thus soon the global energy demand as for creating such and sustaining
this primarily luxury growth (most of which the lower 99.9% of humanity
doesn't require) will become the primary drain upon our limited global
energy resources. These days, no one fixes anything, they trash whatever
they have and upgrade.

I believe there's a breaking point of roughly 2 kw/soul. Surpassing 2
kw/soul is insuring the demise of the existing energy resources
sustaining life as we know it, and even that's based upon no further
aircraft smashing into tall buildings, and of our insane warlords going
after more of those stealth WMD. Perhaps they should have been going
after lunar He3 instead of WMD.

Digital files need to be drastically reduced, duplications need to
become minimized and/or at least centralized via some global intranet
data bank that's accessed via a Skyship optical network of extremely
energy efficient and thereby least polluting alternative to any surface
and/or satellite alternatives. The average computer and accessory loads
(including whatever personal environment aspects) will eventually need
to become limited to 100 watts/unit (with damn few exceptions),
especially if eventually (within a decade from now) 10% of humanity
becomes PC interfaced with 10% of those being on-line somewhere
throughout the global net. Thereby less graphical and more raw text
based data, whereas if the end-user desires to take each and every 100k
file of perfectly usable information and dress each of those up to
100mb, then so be it, but just don't share that sort of meaningless
garnishment over your intranet, much less over the internet.

Sorry this contribution became such a wall-of-words. Perhaps this
argument explains as to why our cold-war has refocused upon global
energy domination.
