[Air-l] Internet -- Source or Medium?

[Peter Timusk]

The internet is bounded by physical energy use and apparently the 4  
tons of e-waste produced every 1 hour in the USA. see http:// 
www.theintegratedcircuit.org/ for what students at my school are  
writing about this e-waste problem and solution in both Canada and  
the USA.

Also electric guitars are another creative endeavour that uses  
electrical power so electricity has its creative uses before the  
internet. Also some guitar players have made a lot of money this way  
like some internet users make a lot of money. Guitars are mediums  
sources are recordings. Although I am not a music scholar I enjoy  
creating in both mediums.

we will run out of energy and the internet will stop.
