Global impact?

I had the same thought. In terms of percentage I think you would probably need to use a population figure excluding the very young and the very old so maybe a third is not unrealistic.

So where do the 1.8 Billion replaced devices go? How much energy and pollution is involved in their disposal?

The planet is right, it needs to get rid of us, quickly.
