> Things that used to be air flights are now video calls. I'm skeptical. What used to be a phone call is now a video chat, which arguably consumes more resources (more bandwidth = more infrastructure). > Videotapes, DVDs and video stores replaced by efficient streaming. This is entirely wrong. Efficient streaming uses peer-to-peer connections so if your neighbor has the video you're looking for you won't have to cross half your country/continent to reach a Netflix caching server. The cloud is the opposite of eco-friendly IT which is best represented by low-consumption services reusing existing devices/infrastructure.
