The weather forecast may be close as your fingertips if plans to integrate embedded computers in everyday objects become a reality. Researchers are envisioning an umbrella with an embedded cell phone in the handle that will dial and then download the local forecast. The handle will glow green for good weather and flash red for imminent storms. Dancers can pin a small flower with an embedded motion-detecting computer to their clothes. When they move the embedded computer senses action and then synchronizes the tempo of music to this movement. Other embedded computers woven into can monitor heart and breathing rates. Wearing hidden embedded computers can help the elderly and people recovering from accidents and surgeries monitor their walking stride and pace. When their steps are uneven, the embedded computer can sound a warning and perhaps prevent a fall. Other embedded computers can give subtle feedback on the quality of physical activity.
Ok so this article has Advantages and Disadvantages, and everything has that but would you really want to have a computer with all the time?
This sounds crazy to me but that's just my opinion so tell me guys what do you think about this?
Share yours thoughts about this let me know what you think because i would love to hear your thoughts.

a very interesting article, in which embedded computers is use to make life style more easier but how far can embedded computers go. Will it be more than just to help? is it a 100% accurate?
ReplyDeleteI for one love technology, so I would agree on the thought about having a little bit of computerization on and in everything,once it's for a good cause.
ReplyDeleteIn this generation, embedded computers are more popular system to specialise the gadget that we want. Embedded computer has very wide ideas for improving of quality life. This blog give us some ideas about this. We all know that any industrial computer system is pre-programmed for a specific task and embedded within the equipment which it serves. A usual embedded system has only a single-board microcomputer with software in ROM that will run some special purposes of an application program. Many devices are using this system and it is based in the companies need or even for a single user. It may be used for weather forecast. Envisioning an umbrella with embedded smart phone in the handle that will dial and downloading the local forecast immediately are now possible in this high technology invention. This is only one example that has already invented at this time because of the embedded computer specialisation.
