England’s most powerful supercomputer, capable of 1,000 billion calculations per second, was designed to predict climate change. After it was installed in 2009, however, critics noted the massive, hangar-sized machine required 1.2 megawatts of energy to operate.
Using that much power produces 12,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year, making the supercomputer one of Great Britains’s single worst contributors to climate change!

Here are ten things to
disappear in our lifetime.
1. The post office.
2. The check. Britain will end them by 2018.

4. The book.

6. Music. The music industry is dying a slow death.

8. The ‘things? you own. More and more things are being stored on hard drives,
9. Joined handwriting. Some schools no longer teach it.
10. Privacy! We’ll have to rely on memories.
