    What a tremendous false estimation. Power has only on and off while IT has billions of switches.

    If you want to simplify electricity to just “on” and “off”, you should do the same to IT—after all, it’s just a bunch of 1s and 0s. Right? Personally, as someone who’s blown up a few things trying to figure out how electricity (and IT) works, I don’t think that’s a particularly good simplification. -ian

    I also think so. Maybe this: I dont know two or more companies working exactly the same way, but they are all using the same electricity.
