I'm thinking of farming ranching and gardening mostly -- what if we could make
pest detector plants that lived in little drip irrigated
containers that convert their response to network readable?
I am thinking they do a gene fingerprint question
on the surroundings for presence of the pestilent insect/fungus/virus/etc...

They might use RFID tag methods for network communication and run on a solar cell
the size of a pea and the whole thing with some sphagnum moss to hold water is the size of a hazelnut.
Maybe don't drip irrigate, just leave them in the field until dried out, then RFID locate and collect
the hardware parts later for remanufacturing with new live plant parts.
