Having worked for a ICU manufacturer I know it takes quite a bit in the means of various fossil fuels, water, and what not just to make the tiny dyes that become a computer chip and are used in our computers/phones/tvs/wireless and so on. Of course those manufacturers try to limit waste of any chemicals but there is an awful lot of gases and chemicals that go into shaping silicone into a data transmitting entity. While I'm not sure I believe fully believe the statistics this article tossed out, I could see how a few thousand chips would eat up if the same if not more than an SUV.
