Aviation and ICT-sector
The carbon-dioxide releases of ICT-sector are bigger than aviation, and that is not a surprising thing. The NSA headquarters has been the largest energy user in the State of Maryland. The monstrous server rooms need always a very large-scale electric supply. And the number of those server rooms is increasing all the time. The reason is that mobile devices transfer the calculating capacity to the servers, which means that those systems need more and more power.
The high-power computers and servers need more and more electricity and the mobile systems, what is communicating with servers needs more electricity for communication processes. And if we would use light and non-powerful processors in the mobile systems, we would transfer the calculations to the servers, and that means that we would need more and more powerful server technology.
The reason why this thing has happened is that the remote use of computers and digital meetings will be a cheaper choice for companies, than some business trips. The manager of the big company might have even tens of meetings per day, and that means if those meetings would happen by using physical traveling, the price of those meetings would be very high.
But there has been one reason, why the big companies have turned to use virtual meetings. The reason is the security checks and if the laptop computer must be left to the airport would the result be devastating. Every contracts and paper would leave behind that person, and that is the reason, why there have been created the solutions like web-based documentation software and writing tools, that the person must not carry them across the border.
Also, the usage of Web-based solutions is easier to control than some local tools. That means that if some persons use very expensive software, and then leaves the company, the user rights of those applications can be denied immediately. In this case, the software would not able to use anymore, even if the laptop disappears in some airfield.
