We're all quick to read about and discuss the latest smart phone or newest Apple laptop. As we look to the future, though, the real advances that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and change our lives are likely to be hidden to us. One such example is discussed by the Christian Science Monitor in a piece about a vineyard's solar powered, wireless, soil monitoring network. As such networks come on line across the world, the amount of data available will be spectacular. Likely, questions such as climate change will be answerable much more quickly. Even more, questions we don't even know about today are likely to arise.
