Sensor Walk

I really was surprised with the amount of sensors that I found just walking around campus. Most of the sensors I recognized today were objects that I see on a daily basis. From smoke detectors to card swipers to security alarms, most of these sensors are made to function as protective devices. Of course sensors are used for a very wide variety of things but I became most interested with the security aspect. It made me think that we often count on technology not only for recreational or professional use but also as a means of life protection and piece of mind. We as a people have become comfortable with the idea of relying on sensors to protect us in an almost guardian angel manor, warning us when trouble is near.
