I often wonder could we do things more efficiently. At least from power point of view. In computing and telecom. Do we actually need to move megabytes of javascript or massive pictures each time we refresh a web page?

Say what you will about saving developer time, but should we maybe think about these resources too?

I don't think that matters too much if just one physical meeting gets replaced with a phonecall or a video call we are miles and miles ahead on the CO2 budget.

In this sense this is a major silver line from the pandemic that may have significant impact on the sustainability challenge.

We cannot unsee that a lot of work can be accomplished without pushing around the planet our clumsy bodies in massive exoskeletons.
