Remember when they told you a google query uses the power of a light bulb burning for an hour? We’ve come to a full circle guys.

I wonder if that was meant to be interpreted as a large or small amount of power. Back then I thought it’s a somewhat significant amount but now it seems tiny.

  A lightbulb for an hour is about 60 Wh, assuming you’re talking about an incandescent one.

    Well, you could get a 60W LED, but it would be extremely bright. Generally, a household bulb is a 60W incandescent, an 18W CFL, or a 9W LED.
