MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR

These Figures Speak Volumes

The recent report from the IEA, which you will find outlined in this issue, may cause you to change some of your behaviors. We often speak of collective responsibility, but sometimes some personal actions are needed. According to the IEA, there are now 14 billion network-enabled devices on the planet. This is much more than the population of the Earth, and the costs are starting to outweigh the benefits.
