109 devices per capita? I just walked through the house looking at what my partner and I have that plugs in. We don’t have 109 together. And it isn’t like I we don’t have stuff. Mesh wifi routers, camping gear. Heck we even have a refrigerator. What do people collect?
"average person has 109 devices" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person has 40 devices. Computers Georg, who lives in cave & has 10,000, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Anyone have a non-paywalled link to this article?
