"The IEA expects that residential energy use by information and communication technologies (mobile phones, PCs etc.) and electronic devices (TVs, DVs, MP3 players, etc.) will double by 2022 and increase threefold by 2030, equivalent to the current combined total residential electricity consumption of the US and Japan."
According to IEA, by 2010 there will be over 3.5 billion mobile phones subscribers, 2billion TVs in use around the world and 1 billion personal computers. Electronic devices can count between 20 and 30 separate items in our homes.
What are the impacts for the environment in terms of energy consumption?
