Making embedded technology work for an ever expanding set of customers is what we love to do, and with all the tools available, solutions are only limited by our imaginations. I would love to hear from everyone about what you are doing, need help with doing, or would like to be doing so we can build even more momentum around the embedded design train that has left the station and is now running at full speed!

For example, health monitoring within the wearable technologies is growing and making new strides. We are now seeing sensors that are in the clothes that we can buy. They will tell us if we are sitting correctly, how long we are sitting, how fast we are walking and how well we are playing whatever sport we are involved in.

From 1900-1969 we went from horse and carriage to landing on the moon.

Perhaps they will ID us at the checkout counter before we pull out our credit card, and they will be doing all of this while monitoring our blood glucose level, and giving feedback on our heart rate rhythms.

Nearly a third of them live in North America. Modern devices disallowed by a Mennonite can vary from congregation to congregation. It depends on their church association and whether or not church leaders feel that a technology distracts its constituents from their traditions, or has the potential to introduce values that could undermine the Mennonite way of life.
