Going Green - Economist Story
Thursday Mar 01, 2007
The Economist reports today:
THE people, places and things inside Second Life, a thriving online world with millions of residents, may be imaginary—but the power consumption of the computers that maintain the illusion is all too real. Nicholas Carr, a business writer and blogger, recently worked out that each of the 15,000 or so residents logged in at any one time consumes electricity as a result of their activities in the virtual world almost as fast as the average inhabitant of Brazil does in real life. Second Life's residents, Mr Carr concluded, “don't have bodies, but they do leave footprints.”
