It would be good to see a breakdown of the environmental benefits brought by modern tech. For instance: - switch to streaming/downloading from physical media eliminates manufacturing and transport - switch to online retail lowers transport/delivery costs of physical goods due to better logistics - high bandwidth internet plus office collaboration software has enabled WFH, eliminating commute - availability of information online saves unnecessary trips to speak to people - online market places provide much more efficient markets for 2nd hand goods - better safety, security and fuel economy tech in cars reduces waste - better surveillance reduces crime such as vandalism Any others? Quantifying things like that could be a nice morale boost for the people who think we'll be swimming to the office in 12 years. There's also a few things which have potential for much greater impact because of the decoupling they bring. Eg. electric cars will work just the same with a greener grid that what we have today; WFH will enable people to relocate based on factors other than where their employer is - maybe going where there is cheap, plentiful renewable energy, for instance, or less need for aircon.
