Now that I've looked at the difference between something that is on all the time and something that is used sparingly I have found out some interesting facts.
Although the TV uses much more energy to run, since it is not on all the time its energy/hour or energy/day is surprisingly lower than I would have thought.
Contrarily, the internet modem used significantly less power than the TV to run. However, due to it being on 24/7 the amount of energy it uses is much much higher than the TV in the long run.
This was interesting as, going by the packet, the internet modem looks like a much better energy saver than the TV. This just goes to show you how time is an important abstract factor in the energy world.
