Pretty ridiculous title thats only meant to be eye catching. Server farms have been growing for ages as our techyness demands more and more. Its not like throwing away your iphone is going to save the world 361 kWh a year.

For kicks I ran the numbers on charging. My smart phone has a 1650 mAh battery at 3.8V. That means it holds 6.27 Wh of power. That is 0.00627 kilowatt hours. Say I have to recharge the whole thing every day (its less than that) and it comes to 2.29 kWh a year. More than I would have thought, but really thats nothing.
