The veneer that makes our civilization possible is 3,000 miles wide and about 1/2 an inch deep.

I just learned today that a 5 minute Google search takes as much energy as it does to boil a quart or so of water. Think about that for a minute.

Great article, btw. Thanks.

1)Sit at computer and click mouse for 5 minutes.

2)Get up, fill teapot, set on stove, turn on burner, about 1 minute.

Which uses more calories?
