Re: How Paper Batteries Charged by Bacteria Could Power the Internet of Things
#2Danish muniplacities are installing IoT devices in a long range of things, from monitoring when a trash can is full, keeping track of parking, creating rfid tours with bits of historic-info showing up in an app as you travel around the city to monitoring high-pressure wells for leaks.
Most devices have batteries that last 5-10 years though, and often it’s the device that needs to get changed, not the battery. Like the trash can IoT devices, they’ll never actually outlive their battery. Even if a devices manages to survive its battery, 10 years is a long time, so you’d probably want to replace it regardless.
This is still a really cool article though, and it’d be silly for me to say that we’d never use it, but battery life isn’t actually a problem for us. Maybe it is in other places? And there is also the enviromental angle to consider, especially in political organizations.

A new world of biological pollution awaits us.

#7Guess what, we don't need an internet of things. It's not going to happen and you can tell that because it's been hyped for a decade now and has not produced any product that anyone buys.

While I don't really see the use case for private individuals, IoT technology is very interesting on the factory floor. Tracking parts and getting sensor data from all kinds of machines is quite useful.

Why do you think that private individuals wouldn't also benefit from being able to track things? I'm quite forgetful so being able to track my possessions would be quite useful to me.

I think the general idea here is that these are biodegradable materials ....
