Dirty Streaming: The Internet's Big Secret

Sarah Best

22nd May 2020

Share this content:

This video from BBC Stories examines how the internet is now as polluting as flying.

It is predicted that in the next 15 years or so (the presenter makes a link to Kylie Jenner's daughter for this...), the internet may use more than a fifth of the world's electricity.

This video could be used for The Media unit (social networks) and Global Development (globalisation).
