I can't comment on server farms, but we probably waste a lot of resources to store selfie videos, showing people taking selfie photos. Maybe all the useful data stored by one or the other server farm could be stored even on a 1 TB drive. I suspect that most stored digital data nowadays is nothing but digital waste.
