Such fields can be found around power supplies, mobile phones and coffee machines. The current applicaOon is preHy interesOng, however the opportuniOes for these devices are very exciOng when you consider embedding the technology in products such as mobile phones.

The rise of Facebook democracy? Local government in Helsinki used a Facebook ‘like’ mechanism to test public opinion for a government funded Guggenheim Museum proposal. Unlike Facebook, there was inclusion of a ‘dislike’ buHon to give voice to the opposiOon. Most importantly, the voOng mechanic invites people to engage with local issues that affect their community. However, if such systems developed and were to be officially adopted by Facebook, there is danger that the social network will have too much informaOon surrounding users.
