As it goes, you walk into a café, place your order and enjoy being entertained by the company you are with. However, for a small café near Tokyo offers a slightly more interesting atmosphere. As you all know, Japan is a country full of inventions; however, they are taking inventions to a whole new dimension now by creating a plant that is able to write blogs.
A university engineer created the idea of the blog writing plant named “Midori-san” (which translates to Mr. / Ms. Green) during his studies of how to communicate with plants. And it is good to know that what Midori-san writes is not another unnecessary blog rant, in fact the plant simply writes a regular blog about its feelings.
This clever little addition to the flora family works from a sensor attached to the plant measuring bio-electric signals, which are converted into data by a computer that sits next to the plant. The computer is then able to translate the data into Japanese, in the form of a blog.
Thus far, the plant has managed to write blogs in relation to the weather and ambient temperature, whilst even managing to impress the customers that have visited the café. The inventor is hoping that the plant will “inspire people to think about the environment in new ways”.
And, perhaps many will now maybe agree with what Justin Leon has said and that blogging is not dead, well at least not for a certain little Japanese plant it would seem. Of course, new bloggers are cropping up all over the world every day but with the Japanese posting more blogs than any other nation in the world, their blog count could be about to get a little bit bigger. Right, where’s my trowel…
