Internet Innovations

The smallest internet connecting devices need battery or power cord, but technology lets gadgets work and communicate using only energy harvested from nearby TV, radio, cell-phone, or Wi-Fi signals is headed toward commercialization. Researchers who developed the technique have demonstrated internet -connected temperature and motion sensors, and even a camera, powered that way. Getting a device without a conventional power source to communicate is harder, because generating radio signals is very power-intensive and the airwaves harvested from radio, TV, and other telecommunication technologies hold little energy. This will impact people who live in their devices, and need to be constantly plugging it into the power for battery. It will solve some problems, for example not much power will be used up. I think this innovation is good because many people have plugging in their devices to charge and now you will not need too.
