Sometimes I think about how interesting it would be to be able to sense EM fields, or data streams. For example, when I'm on a training bike ride.
My bike computer listens to GPS satellites and talks to my cell phone. Sometimes I set my phone to push my position to a website.
Three sensors send in data about me and the bike to the computer. My rear light sends out radar behind me and lets me know when a car is coming near.
I'm a small moving bubble of data and EM noise.
