Dear Allen,

I came upon a paper by Paul Saffo from the
Institute for the Future titled, "Sensors: The Next Wave of Infotech Innovation". He has a lot of ideas which seem relevant to WIND, particulary about the need for providing analog interfaces to digital technology. However, when he writes about MEMS (Microelectrical mechanical sensors) and Micromachines, I begin to wonder if WIND's RTOS will be too big for these micro applications. Any comments?

The paper is @ iftf.org

Here is a quote from the article:

Such new devices--cheap, ubiquitous, high-performance sensors--are going to shape the coming decade.
In the 1980s, we created our processor-based computer "intelligences." In the 1990s, we networked those
intelligences together with laser-enabled bandwidth. Now in the next decade we are going to add sensory
organs to our devices and networks. The last two decades have served up more than their share of digital
surprises, but even those surprises will pale beside what lies ahead. Processing plus access plus sensors
will set the stage for the next wave--interaction. By "interaction" we don't mean just Internet-variety
interaction among people--we mean the interaction of electronic devices with the physical world on our
behalf.
