Is Online TV Better for the Environment?




A joint Microsoft/Intel effort to investigate the effects of information technology on energy and the environment has found that it is more environmentally friendly to download music via the internet through a service like iTunes.

Comparisons may be drawn with the way people view television i.e. it is more eco-friendly to watch the first season of Lost on iTunes than to purchase the physical DVD box set.

The report is examined more closely in the article below, and the other articles in the series can be found HERE.
