In 1956, a computer filled two refrigerators and cost a quarter million dollars a year. The AI industry is counting on you to forget that.
In 1956, storing five megabytes of data needed two refrigerators the size of a wall. They cost a quarter million dollars a year to run.
Today a micro SD card the size of your thumbnail stores 26,000 times more data. It costs nine dollars at a gas station.
That is the pattern that has driven computers for seventy years. Every two years, the same computing power gets smaller, faster, and cheaper. Every tech executive on Earth knows this.
So here is the math they do not want you to do.
The biggest AI data centers being built right now cover up to two thousand acres. They drink up to five million gallons of water every single day. Texas data centers alone will use enough water by 2030 to drop Lake Mead, the biggest reservoir in America, more than sixteen feet in one year.
Now take two thousand acres and divide by twenty-five thousand. After one round of the same progress that has happened every twenty years in computing, that entire campus fits in a backyard. Divide again and it fits on a kitchen table.
They know this. They are building as fast as they can right now to lock up land, water, and power before you figure it out.
Meanwhile your electricity bill went up 6.9% in 2025. It is expected to go up another 40% by 2030.
They knew the math the whole time. They just needed you not to do it.
Now you have.
