What’s happening? Smart Bandages that could help improve the diagnosis and treatment of wounds by transmitting data via bluetooth, floor sensors that can transmit information about intruders or health information that can be determined by gait; and car sensors that can relay dings and damage to rental cat companies.

How will this be important? Laws and regulations will have to recalibrated for new devices and privacy issues.
