Considering I get my blu-rays in the mail, with the regular mail delivery, there's no extra co2 emissions involved on my part. Yet to download Plants vs Zombies Garden warfare I had to leave my ps4 on for 19 hours. I should have switched on standby mode but the f did I know my 40mbps internet was going to have a bad day and take that long.
Btw money has been microscopic bits of data for a long time, bits for bits. I'll keep converting my money bits into tangible objects :)
