...seems that anywhere you turn these days, people are wearing pedometers?you know, those little pagerlike devices that attach to your waistband and count the number of steps you take. In the U.S., the American Diabetes Association has packaged one with its new book on the benefits of physical activity, Small Steps, Big Rewards, and McDonald's offered a free one with its new Happy Meal for adults, which was test-marketed in Indiana last fall...
...seems that anywhere you turn these days, people are wearing pedometers - you know, those little pagerlike devices that attach to your waistband and count the number of steps you take. In the U.S., the American Diabetes Association has packaged one with its new book on the benefits of physical activity, Small Steps, Big Rewards, and McDonald's offered a free one with its new Happy Meal for adults, which was test-marketed in Indiana last fall.

Each mote has a chip about the size of a grain of rice that detects and records things like temperature and motion at its location. Attach it to a battery the size of an aspirin, and a mote will keep doing this for longer than a year; add a power source the size of a bottle cap, and your mote is good for a decade. Most important, the motes have minuscule radio transmitters that talk to other motes...
