The kettle uses more power in 1 minute than my computer uses in 1,000 
minutes ( = nearly 17 hours).

The kettle probably takes approximately 1 minute to boil, and with the 
amount of tea my mum drinks, the kettle probably burns through multiple 
kWh per day - my PC would have to be on 24/7 for a week or two to 
compete with that.
