> a friend who has no connection to the tech world
I assume that you mean that they do not work in the tech world. However, surely they use lots of tech services in their life.
Do they stream film/TV on NetFlix or YouTube? Do they use social media like Facebook or Insagram or TikTok? Does they use email? Do they use WhatsApp or message to chat with friends/family on their mobile phone? Do they have "cloud storage" for their photos? Do they shop online using Amazon? Do they use Google Maps for navigation?
I assume that most adults do at least some of these things. Where does they think the servers run behind the scenes? Simple: In a data center. Now ask your friend to imagine his life without all of those things, because all of them require data centers.
- defrost 2mo agoWhat I'm hearing here is that it's yourself struggling to imagine life w/out data centres. > ask your friend to imagine his life As for friends, I have a number of friends not dissimilar to Jill Churnside: https://tracksweshare.com.au/artist/jill-churnside/ https://tracksweshare.com.au/artist/jill-churnside/ You know, not a "he" (as many on this planet are not). and even programmers who are happy to live with home servers and local LANs.
