Streaming : the web monster

Description

From an ecological point of view, this investigation tells us the rise of an invention of the 1990s: streaming. THE must-have technology and its exponential carbon footprint are now uncontrollable, to the point of raising the question of its survival.

By 2025 the emissions emitted by digital technology will be almost equal to those emitted by automobiles worldwide.
To manufacture a RAM stick you need 16,000 times its weight.
To make a car you need 54 times its weight.
There is nothing as raw material intensive among all that mankind has produced as the core of the electronic components used for streaming.
Just like there was an oil shock, do we need a digital shock to make it more sustainable...?
