we explained how graphene could speed up
the development of the Internet of
Things
this is Josie Josie lives in the near
future and loves to use the Internet of
Things in her everyday life for example
her clothes use the flexibility and
excellent sensing capabilities of
graphene now she can conveniently
integrate a daily health check-up
directly into getting dressed her
flexible roll-down bathroom mirror
brings her up to speed before she even
started her day graphene's flexibility
and ultra thin body enables the
realization of transparent displays in
nearly any shape and size
Josie's daughter Karolina is passionate
about swimming and dreams of one day
making the Olympic team with graphene
sensors integrated into her swimsuit she
can receive a lot of information helping
her to train more efficiently while
Karolina is swimming josie goes to the
supermarket she will get relevant
information on products thanks to smart
tags made flexible by graphene as well
as graphene optical sensors that can see
things that the human eye cannot see by
scanning a product Josie can see if it's
fresh or if it contains any additives or
energetics that she wants to avoid at
home Josie's son Adam opens the fridge
to have a snack by a graphene tag
integrated in the label of the yogurt he
can check if it's still edible even
though it passed the expiration date
that way if a family avoids wasting food
without risking their health Adam is
into gaming with his friends over the
Internet graphene can speed up the
transmission of information as it
transforms optical signals to
electricity and vice versa with record
speed even wireless communication is
improved an atom could even join out of
an airplane carolina's swimming coach
also enjoys the benefits of this high
speed transmission he receives signals
from the swim suit while monitoring
Carolina's swimming technique from the
pool site
as Josie is driving home it's become
dark and foggy in these conditions when
her own senses can betray her graphene
is used as a reliable optical sensor
that will bring her home safely
since graphene is thin flexible
transparent and cheap to mass-produce
Josie and her family can apply unique
qualities to the things they depend on
this way they can personalize their
things and are able to focus on what's
really important
