> (writing) an energy per bit of information of 17 μJ [0]
It's interesting to think about data as μJ per bit. The article seems to hint that this is too high for practical use, but I'm honestly clueless how this would compare to other storage mediums. It also makes me wonder what amount of energy premium are we paying for remote data and what amount of energy premium we are paying for wireless transmission.
