Folding Question

but there are some estimates

 

 

There are estimates and records of official sales, but what about rip off devices that don't really have a record of being sold, as well as devices that are broken, so can't count towards the total number. 

 

There's also the matter of super computers and such. The ending answer is: A lot. Can't really be any more accurate than that.

how much power would every single smartphone and computer and basically anything that could perform folding put together to fold be equivelant to?

i thought it would be interesting to know

like if they folded for 1 hour

OFF TOPIC: I suggest every poll from now on to have "**CK EA" option instead of "Other"

Nobody even knows how many phones and computers there are in the world, that would be virtually impossible to quantify.
