That's enough to boil approximately 600 litres of water. Which is a lot, especially when you consider that several billion of us are using a lot less than that. Demand is growing, too, by 3-5% globally every year. The IT industry is a major contributor to this, using around 6% of the world's electricity. So how can we make more, and use less?\nThat’s the topic of a two-part special of our sister podcast, Technology Untangled. This week, we’re taking a look at some of the key findings from these special investigations in something of a highlights reel.\nWe'd love to hear your one minute review of books which have changed your year!
