With half the world's population now blogging, posting Facebook updates, or tweeting, there's a stream of text continuously being generated and then published online. The volume of new content is exploding by the second, and there's no end in sight.And I'm worried about how much space is being taken up. To counteract this, my idea is that we should be writing in smaller font, to take up less screen-space. And more importantly, my tiny text requires fewer electrons to be transmitted and manipulated through circuits, and fewer photons to be created, thus saving energy and counteracting global warming.
It may be tricky to read my blog from now on, but at least the planet will be fractionally cooler.
