The plant got itself ... a blog!

    Good day to all!

    Amazing things are happening in the world - a small step in progress - a giant step for ... plants. I read an article about the plant blogging. The article tells us about the new “web service”, which was designed based on the Plantio interactive platform developed by Satoshi Kuribayashi from Keio University. Engineers from the IT company KAYAC presented their miracle invention.



    The "botanical" interface uses the electrical potential of plants, registering weak currents that occur on the surface of the leaves. At the same time, the recorded signals vary depending on changes in the surrounding space - temperature, humidity, vibration level, lighting and a number of other parameters.

    A specially designed program, through a cunning algorithm, replaces the data with phrases in Japanese, sometimes adding a pun on the topic for greater artistry. And then everything is as usual: an Internet connection is a blog.

    Those who wish can visit the plant’s blog, but for this you need to know Japanese, the plant keeps records here

    The Japanese company expects that this experiment will help to understand in which direction the development of interactive systems should move. Well, it will help people not to forget about the environment, of course - the article reports.

    So, conclusions: the future is coming, and perhaps humanity, in a couple of centuries, will have to fight back not only from artificial intelligence and supercomputers, as blockbusters predict us, but also against plants, flora and fauna have been sharpening their teeth on people who kill them with ecology.

    But it will be in a couple of centuries, and now - I can’t wait for my cat to start blogging, it’s very interesting what’s in his head and I’ll definitely subscribe to his notes!
