SOME YEARS AGO I DID A TALK at a local university on cybersecurity, titled” Cyber and Infor-mation Security: Have We All Gone Mad?” It is still worth reading today since we have gone quite mad collectively.

IN THE EARLY 1980s, offices were noisy places, filled with the sound of metal striking inked ribbons to mark characters on paper. IBM Selectric typewriters clacked, daisy wheel printers clattered, and dot-matrix printers made loud ripping sounds.

You can't see, hear, taste, feel, or smell it, but software is everywhere around us. It underpins modern civilization even while consuming more energy, wealth, and time than it needs to and burping out a significant amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The software industry and the code it ships need to be much more efficient in order to minimize the emissions attributable to programs running in data centers and over transmission networks. Two approaches to software development featured in this issue can help us get there.

All right, confession time. I don't use my handheld ham radio for much more than eavesdrop-ping on the subway dispatcher when my train rumbles to a mysterious halt in a dark tunnel. But even I couldn't help but hear the buzz surrounding a new handheld, Quansheng's UV-K5.

In late 2023, researchers at Georgia Tech in Atlanta unveiled a robotic performance sculpture they named Medusai. It is modeled after Medusa, the mythological Gorgon who turned anyone who looked at her to stone. The bot has snakelike arms that allow it to simultaneously play percussion and strings and interactively “dance” with observers. “The eerie and uncanny notion of AI-driven robotic snakes following and threatening humans is balanced by the sculpture's potential to inspire humans to push the boundaries of their creativity and expression,” explains Gil Weinberg, the professor at Georgia Tech's Center for Music Technology who heads the team that created Medusai.

SOFTWARE MAY BE EATING THE WORLD, but it is also heating it. In December 2023, representatives from nearly 200 countries gathered in Dubai for COP28, the U.N.'s climate-change conference, to discuss the urgent need to lower emissions. Meanwhile, COP28's website produced 3.69 grams of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) per page load, according to the website sustainability scoring tool Ecograder. That appears to be a tiny amount, but if the site gets 10,000 views each month for a year, its emissions would be a little over that of a one-way flight from San Francisco to Toronto.
