Sensors the Foot Soldier of a Revolution April 7, 2008 

I was looking at the Dallas Morning News this morning a saw a story "Sensors may Revolutionize Everyday Life". I've mentioned before about how sensors will start to be in just about everything. I just found it interesting to be in a main stream media paper on a Sunday morning.

I was talking with some folks last week about cloud computing and how sensors are going to change how computing is used. When we have the huge amounts of information coming in that the sensors will provide, we're going to have to display it in a way that people can consume. After all people can't work with petabytes of information flowing in on a daily basis.

I did find it interesting that Nano -Technology wasn't mentioned once during the article, since sensors are a major research area for nano. I would be interesting for the reporter to do a follow-up pulling in some Nano activities from places like UT Dallas.
