There are legitimate scenarios where the usage is justified, e.g. for navigation or gaming. For example, the K-9 mail app on Android had a bug whereby it would enter an infinite retry loop when the network was disconnected or a mail server failed. But making heavy use of a resource does not necessarily imply misbehavior. Wasted energy.

Machine learning is playing an increasingly important role in many areas of our businesses and our lives and is being employed in a range of computing tasks where programming explicit algorithms is infeasible. The efficiency by which a deep learning framework scales out across multiple cores is one of its defining features.

It can be hard to visualize the huge network of hardware that allows you to send a request for a page to a server and then receive a response back. Also, the amount of data that is required for the page, and the complexity of the route it must travel through, will determine the amount of carbon released by the network itself.
