Exercise 35

Patrolling by Remote
Today's gadgets offer all-weather, all-knowing, any time, any place. Whether you are trying to keep tabs on your children, your new home theater, or your streaming audio, here are a few wireless tools you can use around your house.
Wi-Fi camera -A five-inch-high Wireless Observer lets you take pictures at regular intervals or in response to motion and you can access it anytime through a web browser (www.veo.com).
Security sensor -This detector system alerts you to break-ins and errant pop flies. Its dual sensors record vibration and acoustic disturbances-signs of a shattered window-to help avoid false alarms. (www.getintellisense.com).
GPS tracking device -Total Parental Information Awareness is here. Lock this GPS locator to your kids' wrists and whenever you want to check on them, just query Wherify's web page. It pinpoints their location on a street map and displays an aerial photo (www.wherify.com).
Wireless speakers -Sony's versatile 900-MHz speakers connect the RF receiver to your stereo, TV, or PC, and get crystal-clear audio anywhere within 150 feet (www.sonystyle.com).
In a group, create a document discussing how these new wireless technologies could potentially change the business arena and list at least one company for each technology that should view these new products as potential threats.
