Looking for an article to read and write a blog about I found one that go my attention. This article relates to cows having a sensor like the Wii control that will text farmers and let them know if their cows are getting sick. Is in it this amazing, now they are trying to make internet of animals. Time ago I read about internet of things but now the University of Strathclyde has begun a $2.2 million project to equip cows with a "smart collar" that will allow their owners to keep tabs on them via cell phone. The collar uses the same 3D sensor found in Wii video game controllers to detect shifts in the cow's head position. When a cow lowers its head, it's a sign of possible illness. Researchers expect farmers would be notified by a text. This technology can help secure the future of farming by allowing farmers to be aware of the health conditions of individual cows far more easily and accurately. Not only can this development help to save the farmer money, it can also help to keep food affordable. In my opinion I think this internet of animals is pretty cool and it can help a lot. Now farmers can be aware of everything is going on with their cows.
This is a really interesting blog. The cows can now text their owners? I think its interesting because it is a way of getting to know how they are feeling, and its a closer step to getting to know animals a little more. :)
