Combining smart sensors with an older technology — analog computing — could dramatically reduce their power consumption.

It could be the key to making tomorrow’s smart tech sustainable.

    This impressed me:

    In August, IBM unveiled a prototype of a low-power analog chip designed specifically for speech recognition — it was able to detect 12 “wake words” more quickly and just as accurately as a digital system.

    I’m always wary of extraordinary claims (Theranos and all) but this could potentially be interesting.
