Windows = Antivirus = Pollution?
,----[ Quote ]
| I just read an article by the University of Calgary where the author claims
| (and I think he's correct) that IT is a huge pollutant. For example, we have
| hardware that becomes obsolete, we have to produce electricity to pump into
| our gadgets, etc.
|
| Not long ago I read another article where it's calculated (or so they say)
| how much pollution is produced by each search on google.
|
| [...]
|
| So... coming back to the question: Windows = Antivirus = Pollution? Can
| anybody try to make a wild guess about how much pollution is produced by
| antiviruses?
