> We were watching videos and playing games on our laptops in 2005. Of course they mostly weren't 4K or raytraced, don't be silly.
The video comment was about phones. The raytracing was about laptops.
Yes, laptops were capable of watching DVDs in 2005. (But they weren't capable of watching much YouTube, because YouTube was only started later that year. Streaming video was in its infancy.)
> It's just a speculation of what things will look like when we can't sustain what is unsustainable.
Huh? We are sitting on a giant ball of matter, and much of what's available in the crust is silicates. You mostly only need energy to turn rocks into computer chips. We get lots and lots of energy from the sun.
How is any of this unsustainable?
(And a few computer chips is all you save with the proposed approach. You still need to make just as many screens and batteries etc.)
