Geeky technology: A lock that can be unlocked remotely by a text message

When it comes to technology, we’re always looking forward to those that can make our live easier, and speaking of new technologies, today we have a lock that can be unlocked not by a key but instead by a text message.

I personally think this is an amazing idea, because it will be perfect for you if you accidentally lock yourself out of your apartment, or lose your keys. In fact, you can almost forget all about keys because you can open your lock at any time from any place just by sending a text message from your phone.

So how does this works? Simple, there’s a small web server that’s connected to the lock and when you send a text message from an approved number, the server will open the lock or close it. The downside? Don’t lose your phone.

It’s a great idea, but we doubt that it will replace standard keys anytime soon or ever. Its probably still safer to have a spare key with you, just in case you lose your cellphone or run out of battery.

In recent years, it has gained readers as its competitor Digg has lost them.

‘Wireless’ humans could backbone new mobile networks

People could form the backbone of powerful new mobile internet networks by carrying wearable sensors. The sensors could create new ultra high bandwidth mobile internet infrastructures and reduce the density of mobile phone base stations.Engineers from Queen’s Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology are working on a new project based on the rapidly developing science of body-centric communications.Social benefits could include vast improvements in mobile gaming and remote healthcare, along with new precision monitoring of athletes and real-time tactical training in team sports, an institute release said.The researchers are investigating how small sensors carried by members of the public, in items such as next generation smartphones, could communicate with each other to create potentially vast body-to-body networks.The new sensors would interact to transmit data, providing ‘anytime, anywhere’ mobile network connectivity.Simon Cotton from the i
