One thing I always point out is that human time is limited to one activity in a moment. So, for every moment a person is sitting at a computer consuming some amount of electricity, he is not driving a car, out drinking beer and so on.To talk about the costs without comparing them to what other things humans do isn't very helpful. I'll digg it for the sake of so many pretty numbers, but keep in mind that this info doesn't contain data about the rest of human behaviors.
amount of pixels and bandwidth wasted by people viewing this infographic are equivelant to 147 funny cat movies or 863 geocities rotating flame skull gifs!
Tell me something .. where does the lead, barium, and chromium come from?The Earth? Well why can't it be put back in the Earth .. if that's where it came from in the first place?

Let me guess, you want me to turn off my computer. Sorry but no, I have a torrent that's been on for 10 weeks.

You do realize that almost all paper made today is from tree farms. Which means it doesn't impact the natural forests.
