So you put a message into this device and then you roll it on the wall,

将信息输进这台机器，然后将其滚过墙面，

and it basically has all these solenoids pressing the buttons on spray cans,

因为它带有电导管，能触发喷雾开关，

so you just pull it over a wall and it just writes on the wall all the political messages. So, yeah.

Then we have this plant here. This is called Botanicalls,

再看看这颗植物。这叫“植物人”，

because there's an Arduino ball with a Wi-Fi module in the plant, and it's measuring the well-being of the plant,

这里有一个Arduino组件，带有WI-FI功能附于这颗植物上，测量它的生长情况，

and it's creating a Twitter account where you can actually interact with the plant.

同时它连接着一个推特账号，所以我们实际上可以和这颗植物互动。

So, you know, this plant will start to say, "This is really hot,"

比如，它会说“天气真热”

or there's a lot of, you know, "I need water right now."

或者“我现在想喝水”。

So it just gives a personality to your plant.

他的推特上有28万粉丝。他的年纪只有14岁，当地政府一年后才跟上他发布了类似系统。

Or again, another project where, by analyzing the Twitter feed of a family,

再看这个，该装置可以分析一家人各自的推特状况，

you can basically point where they are, like in the "Harry Potter" movie.

让你知道他们在干嘛，比如在看《哈利波特》。
