This article was about the advancement of devices that are sustainable and battery free to be able to connect to the internet. The hacking of radio frequency identification tags gives other devices the ability to sense the environment. By combining an RFID tag with cut bits of a circuit to complete it, it uses a small radio frequency device to identify and track objects. It has multiple uses like to track inventory in warehouses and factories, to prevent theft of merchandise in stores, in libraries to keep track books and DVDs, and in debit cards to make contactless payment possible. Simple hardware was hacked, cut RFID tags and played a sensor on them.
In my opinion I believe this method of adding sensors to devices is very efficient. it is both cheap and works well. Other methods of getting sensors like this would most likely cost a lot of money. Since the goal of these people is to get devices more sustainable and battery free, having sensors this cheap could allow for that to be more possible much more earlier then it would normally come out with high expenses. Also, movement technology like this would be helpful to people who want easy access to normal things in their lives like turning on the lights. A motion that could signify an on switch for a light would be helpful for those who are disabled etc.
