There are some gross approximations in the comparison. Oversized fibre optics networks laid out in the late 90s were used for years and may even be in part still used today; today's servers and GPUs will be obsolete in 3 to 5 years, and not worth their weight in scrap metal in 10.

The part about Jevons' paradox is interesting though.
