I was searching for a lost pen under my office desk the other day and I was kind of shocked to see a maze somewhat like the one in the cartoon. I believe there are four power strips under there. And I seldom turn off most of the things that are plugged into those strips. In fact, I am sure all of that humming equipment heats the room up 4 or 5 degrees higher than the rest of the basement. In this computer age, with a country as big and computerized as the United States, think of the energy being consumed by all of that technology when not even in use - comsumption that didn't even exist just a few decades ago.
