About this episode

This episode explores the evolution and resource demands of data centers, questioning their necessity in modern society.

Data Centers have evolved in so many different ways since they first became a necessity and nuisance. They have always taken up massive amounts of space and resources and somehow the needs to run them have ever increased as well. The sheer amount of water and electricity it takes to run these places is unimaginable. They use the amount of resources that can sustain a large town or small city. Are they actually necessary though? #BringOnTheQuestions #Podcast #DataCenters #Google #Amazon
