so a friend of mine just did the math and it looks like about 1.5 million watts are being used worldwide at any given time *just by web browsers downloading jquery*
Interesting. Just had to do the inverse calculation.. Assuming 5.9 Wh/MB (a figure I got from https://www.katescomment.com/energy-of-downloads/ …) this means jquery downloads are approx 6 TB per day. If correct, I'm more astonished by 5.9 Wh/MB than by 6 TB/day of jquery downloads. (5.9 Wh ≈ 21.2 kJ)pic.twitter.com/5Q4Fd01dMR
