In case you haven't read about it, there is a technology called Smart Dust - glitter sized network computing devices that can do all sorts of cool and scary things.
So what happens after we produce billions of Smart Dust devices and spread them pervasively (invasively) throughout our world?
Perhaps this could spawn add-on features for our Robot vacuum cleaners?
Not only could your smart vacuum cleaner take care of regular dust, it could seek out smart dust as well? And then what?
Do we need virus scanners for our smart dust? Can we run Norton anti-virus on our Roombas in order to separate 'good' smart dust from 'bad'? Maybe we will need a Smart Dust recycling program?
