>Or, look at TVs. Pick one out of the 1950s. It used a huge quantity of material compared to a modern TV. And a lot of the material in the 1950s TV were materials in short supply, like tungsten. A modern TV is mainly silicon and plastic.

Yup, but today, we need to own five of them each, and we keep them for four years and not twelve because the technology is advancing so quickly.

We're going to start running out of silicon and plastic at some point...
