I don't buy this.

We are wasting massive amounts of energy.

20 lanes of stop-and-go SUV's all single driver traveling over an hour to jobs that they hate. Terrajules of energy to create a single piece of electronics designed to break in less than 2 years. Massive manufacturing of throw away disposable items. The list goes on.

This is Hacker news. Que's Computer Users Dictionary 5th edition defines hack:

"An inordinately clever rearrangement of existing system resources that results, as if by magic, in a stunning improvement in system performance - or an equally stunning prank."

We need to wisely use what we already have.
