Convergence of Technologies
leads to smaller sizes, low power, lower costs. Allows us to monitor with higher granularity. Many types or sensors and more on the way.
Sensors: Miniaturization, micromachining, and low cost manufacturing
Computing/Internet:
Computing power is becoming small and inexpensive enough to add to almost any object. Networks of computers facilitate collaboration through information and resource sharing.
Smarter, Smaller Sensors
technologies including Bluetooth and WiFi networks, cellular and satellite communications. Enables a wireless and mobile Internet.
