Prophet
Mohammad - peace and blessing of GOG be upon him - has said: (I swear by God in
whose hand is my sole, the Hour (Day of Judgment) will not come until wild
animals speak to mankind, and man speaks to the his shoes, and to the terminal
of his whip, and his thy tell him thighs his wife done during his leave.).
The text of this Hadith as reads in Arabic is:
- (والذي
نفسي بيده لا
تقوم الساعة
حتى تكلم السباع
الإنس، ويكلم
الرجال شراك نعله، وعذبة
سوطه ويخبره
فخذه بما أحدث
أهله بعده ) (الراوي: أبو

mentioned by the Hadith: (The Hour - Day of Judgment - will not come until man
speaks to the his shoes).
Maxwell Smart's Shoe Phone (Get Smart)
“Get Smart” 
Would
you believe that
this is the most famous
prop in
television history? Would you believe the second
most famous?
While other spies hid their radios
in
pens, cigarette
cases and lighters, Maxwell Smart, Agent
86 of Control, cleverly housed a
telephone
in
his shoe.
As used for
five seasons
by Don Adams in
the Emmy-winning comedy series, the Shoe Phone
has earned a
permanent place in
our memories, our hearts,
and especially our funny bones, as a
classic icon of
popular culture.[1]

it has created the world's first "smart shoe" by mating it with a
computer chip that adapts its cushioning level to a runner's size and stride ([2]).

Smart Shoes
Want to keep track of anyone. Hand them these shoes and see
where they are going. The GTX GPS shoes have a small GPS tracking device inside
the shoe which communicates the location to a central location tracking
service. A feature called GeoFencing sends an SMS to your mobile phone when the
Wearer of the Shoes leaves a particular predefined area and notifies you of the
current situation. (More info)
CD-Rom Shoes
This cool concept shoe features an integrated CD-ROM,
tweeters, a volume control knob and some speakers. The idea of putting a CD-ROM
drive instead of Hard Drive or Flash memory is a bit outdated. I am so curios
how it might tinckle the feet when the CD in ROM Drive is spinning. (More info)

Animal migration tracking
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ([4])
Radio-collared
wolf in Yellowstone National Park
For
years scientists have
been tracking animals and the ways
they migrate.
One of the many goals of animal migration research has been to determine where
the animals are going; however, researchers also want to know why they are
going "there". Researchers not only look at the animals' migration
but also what is between point a and point b to determine if a species is
moving to new locations based on food density, a change in water temperature,
and the animal's ability to adapt to these changes.
Technologies
for tracking
A monarch
butterfly shortly after tagging at the Cape May Bird Observatory.
The Observatory is one of the organisation that has a monarch identification
tagging program. Plastic stickers are placed on the wing of the insect with
identification information. Tracking information is used to study the migration
patterns of monarchs, including how far and where they fly.
In
the fall of 1803, American Naturalist John James Audubon wondered
whether migrating birds returned to the same place each year. So he tied a
string around the leg of a bird before it flew south. The following spring,
Audubon saw the bird had indeed come back.
Scientists
today still attach tags, such as metal bands, to track movement of animals.
Metal bands require the re-capture of animals for the scientists to gather
data; the data is thus limited to the animal's release and destination points.
Recent
technologies have helped solve this problem. Some electronic tags give off
repeating signals that are picked up by radio devices or satellites while
other electronic tags could include archival tags (or data loggers). Scientists
can track the locations and movement of the tagged animals without recapturing
them using this RFID technology or satellites.
These electronic tags can provide a great deal of data. However, they are more
expensive than the low-tech tags that aren't electronic. Also, because of their
size and weight, electronic tags may create drag on some animals, slowing them
down.
Radio
tracking
The
right one of these two brush-tailed rock-wallabies is
wearing a radio tracking collar.
Tracking an
animal by radio involves two devices. A transmitter attached
to the animals sends out a signal in the form of radio
waves, just as a radio
station does. A scientist might place the transmitter around
an animal's ankle, neck, wing, carapace,
or dorsal fin. Alternatively,
they may surgically implant it as internal radio transmitters have the
advantage of remaining intact and functioning longer than traditional
attachments, being protected from environmental variables and wear.[1] A VHF receiver
picks up the signal, just like a home radio picks up a station's signal. The
receiver is usually in a truck,
an ATV,
or an airplane. To keep track of the signal,
the scientist follows the animal using the receiver. This approach of using
radio tracking can be used to track the animal manually but is also used when
animals are equipped with other payloads. The receiver is used to home in on the
animal to get the payload back.
Satellite
tracking

GPS-based satellite transmitter for
migration tracking
Receivers
can be placed in Earth-orbiting satellites
such as ARGOS. Networks, or groups, of
satellites are used to track animals. Each satellite in a network picks up
electronic signals from a transmitter on an animal. Together, the signals from
all satellites determine the precise location of
the animal. The satellites also track the animal's path as it moves.
Satellite-received transmitters fitted to animals can also provide information
about the animals' physiological characteristics (e.g. temperature) and habitat
use.[2][3] Satellite
tracking is especially useful because the scientists do not have to follow
after the animal nor do they have to recover the tag to get the data on where
the animal is going or has gone. Satellite networks have tracked the migration
and territorial movements of caribou, sea
turtles,[4] whales, great white sharks, seals, elephants, bald
eagles, ospreys and vultures.[2][5][6][3] Additionally pop-up satellite
tags are used on marine mammals and various species of
fish. There are two main systems, the above mentioned Argos and the GPS.[7] Thanks
to these systems, conservationist can find the key sites for migratory species.[8]
Importance

Electronic
tags are giving scientists a complete, accurate picture of migration patterns.
For example, when scientists used radio transmitters to track one herd of caribou,
they learned two important things. First, they learned that the herd moves much
more than previously thought. Second, they learned that each year the herd
returns to about the same place to give birth.
This information would have been difficult or impossible to obtain with
"low tech" tags.
Tracking
migrations is an important tool to better understand and protect species.
For example, Florida manatees are
an endangered species,
and therefore they need protection. Radio tracking showed that Florida manatees
may travel as far as Rhode Island when they migrate. This information suggests
that the manatees may need protection along much of the Atlantic Coast of the
United States. Previously, protection efforts focused mainly in the Florida
area.
In
the wake of the BP oil spill, efforts in
tracking animals has increased in the Gulf. Most researchers who use electronic
tags have only a few options: pop-up satellite tags, archival tags, or
satellite tags. Historically these tags were generally expensive and could cost
several thousands of dollars per tag. However, with current advancements in
technology prices are now allowing researchers to tag more animals.
