BoingBoing pal Roland says:
Computing is about to really become ubiquitous if a research project started at Edinburgh University delivers its promises. In "A spray-on computer is way to do IT, the Edinburgh Evening News writes that "spray-on computers the size of a grain of sand are set to transform information technology." The scientists are already working with Edinburgh hospitals to spray nanocomputers on coronary patients to monitor their hearts unobtrusively and wirelessly. The technology should be ready within four years and these spray-on nanocomputers should be at work in hospitals, schools and shops in less than ten years. This summary contains more details about these nanocomputers which will be able to be diffused into our environment.
