The consumption now and in near future will be mostly driven by large AI models, to generate some crazy images, scam some people, and maybe also help individuals and companies a bit. I am not holding my breath on some overall positive effect. In past few years, it has been crypto mining ( maybe not in IR but globally definitely yes), I think we can all agree a pointless emotional fomo endeavor. That online shopping is also debatable, people often order low quality shit they don't really need because its ridiculously cheap. Manufacturing, transport, packaging, not so great for the planet. The days before the internet, I recall them too. Sure, you had to get to the shop, but I had way less clothing and overall everything and I kept it for longer (I am still very much an un-fashionate outlier of modern era but even for me its headed in bad direction).
