"The Energy of an Internet Search" was an article written by Alexandra Ossola. The article talked about energy needed to run the servers that power search engines and websites all over the internet. The energy from these servers then emits greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere which is contributing to global warming. Although the article did not call for an end to the use of the internet, the message to its readers was personal awareness in terms of individual energy use.
After reading the article, I found the following to be interesting. Computer, printers, and mobile phones emitted as much carbon dioxide in 2007 as the aviation (airplane) industry did. Computers and electronics account for nine percent of electricity use at home. 131 billion internet searches were conducted last year. Laptop computers are more energy efficient than desktop computers.
I enjoyed reading this article. I like how the author broke up the article into two parts, the increased energy use, then provided tips for being more energy efficient. My favorite part of the article was when the author talked about how one person can't fix energy consumption worldwide, but as individuals, we need to be more conscious of energy use. I would recommend this article to young people who spend a lot of their time on the internet or use electronic devices.
