AI en Sustainable Digital:
Beste mensen kom in beweging. Take a Stand!
Leun niet achterover want het probleem lost zich niet vanzelf op.

Tom Greenwood on the direct rebound effect :
“Energy efficiency and performance gains in digital technology
are driven first by hardware, rather than software. Data centers,
telecoms networks and end user devices continue to advance,
meaning that more computational work can be done and more
data can be consumed with the same amount of energy.
This is a good thing.
The problem is that a rebound effect then kicks in. Advances in
hardware efficiency make data cheaper and faster. This leads to
people consuming more data and for tech companies to invent
more complex products and services that were not previously
possible. Jevons paradox is alive and well!”
