Five of the best tweeters that are not people

Many people use Twitter to automatically transmit information (car, scales, simulator, wallet, online banking), various statistics (stock market, exchange rates, etc.). These are very useful channels. But there are also “creative” robots that do not do any good and only make you smile: the top five of the most interesting of them have chosen the ExtroTech technology magazine.

@TweetingSeat : a bench in the Botanical Garden of Dundee (Scotland) comes to life every time someone sits on it. She automatically takes a photo and sends it to Twitter.



Of course, on the bench there is a warning for citizens. However, it turned out a good demonstration of tracking technology. Indeed, in other places the same camera with a sensor can work without warning.

@hungry_birds : Latvian artist Waldemar Dudum puts a keyboard with bacon pieces on the balcony - a treat for hungry tits. Birds peck fat, knock their beaks on the keyboard and send messages to Twitter. “You may think that this is stupid,” says Voldemar, “but if you read that other people sometimes tweet, then I think tits are quite normal messages.” The pervert also removes it on video.



@mytoster : there was always something to say to toasters and coffee makers, these devices were among the first to connect to the Internet, and now they have mastered Twitter. One hacker equipped the toaster cover with a sensor that, via an ioBridge controller connected to a computer, automatically informs Twitter when it is turned on and off.



Similarly, a smart hacker is going to connect other objects in the house to Twitter. For example, the door to his room, so that he always gets a message on Twitter if someone has entered.

@pothos : plants also feel something. The sensors on the Arduino board measure the soil moisture, and the plant will talk to Twitter when it is “thirsty,” and if you water it, it will say thank you .



Botanical merchants sell devices for $ 100 , so you can connect your favorite flower to the blogosphere.

@towerbridge : a bridge without a sense of humor. Many people think that bridges are stupid and silent. Far from it! At least, the world's smartest Tower Bridge pedantically informs when it opens and closes, when a ship passes under it, and where it goes (in the sense, up or downstream).



If critical remarks from readers are heard to the bridge, he politely replies to them on Twitter.
