Abstract
The worldwide development of communication and data exchange systems, as well as research on environmental protection, have strongly encouraged the development of digital technology. This technology has been growing exponentially since 2005 and its evolution would rather go towards an acceleration of this growth due to the emergence of cryptocurrencies, such as blockchains (Bitcoin, Litecoin, or Ethereum), the 5G or artificial intelligence. The transparency of the operation of these tools on the user's side makes us forget that the associated energy consumption is also growing exponentially and that we could reach a global dead end in less than 10 years, with the electrical consumption of digital technology exceeding the current world electrical production.
