GENOMICON

This is what I keep going on about… as though it hasn’t been invented yet:

Networked micro-sensors which at 17p a go, is cheap enough (almost) to scatter them like confetti.

Only it’s not really cheap enough to scatter them like confetti – these need to be printable I think… and maybe shrunk even further – and the main thrust of this particular development is “security”, which is for people terrified of other people taking their stuff. Security is a state of mind… and the more you obsess about it, the less secure you feel. Security is a self-defeating prophecy. Yea, we need it to a degree, but to focus all this innovative power on it is a fucking waste.

The potential of these things is huge though I think… not for security but for environmental monitoring, farming, smart-building etc etc.
