In order to turn data I downloaded 'all' of my facebook data, this is a process that anyone can do before they disable their Facebook in order to try to reclaim some of the information bestowed by Facebook. I doubt entirely that this is the full mass of data I have produced over 7 long years on facebook however downloading it onto a single 2MB USB stick which measures 4.5cm x 2cm enabled me to visualise however exaggerated how the physicals spaces we inhabit may be forced to change to fit this. This then lead me to explore data centres and the physical land use of such spaces that are consuming the landscape surrounding us whilst using up resources and energy unknown to many.
