Non è che lo dice una qualche associazione di ambientalisti - luddisti ! ma la International Energy Agency , organismo indipendente internazionale. Around $80 billion wasted on power for online devices in 2013 Simple measures can keep problem of inefficient ‘network standby’ from worsening in years ahead, IEA report says 2 July 2014 Paris Today, the world’s 14 billion online electronic devices – such as set-top boxes, modems, printers and game consoles – waste around USD 80 billion each year because of inefficient technology. By 2020, the problem will considerably worsen, with an estimated USD 120 billion wasted. But a report by the International Energy Agency points to a different path, identifying simple measures that can be implemented now to improve energy efficiency in networked devices, resulting in massive savings of energy and money. The report, More Data, Less Energy: Making Network Standby More Efficient in Billions of Connected Devices , shows that electri
