This is a truly awesome technology. But ITT an abundance of nit-pickiness on how this isn't exactly what the title says it is or how it could be presented better.
Yes, the nitpicks are correct. But wouldn't it be more inspiring to talk about how it could be used?
- btbuildem 9y agoIt's not that awesome. Miniature, WIFI-capable components with batteries that would last years already cost very, very little. This is a strange use of a low-tech approach, seems to fall under the "We can, but why would we?" category.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoWe're talking about that too; in fact, there's more talk about the usage than nitpicking about the description. That said, to invent uses for a technology, one needs to understand what it does, and what it does not. Hence the nitpicking. This technology is functionally worse than regular RFIDs, but it's potentially dirt-cheap to manufacture. Saying it has anything to do with "Wi-Fi" or "connecting" is so deeply wrong that it heavily distorts one's understanding of its pros and cons.
