Not the MIT park benches referred to below
MIT-designed park benches can also connect to Net
The Boston Globe reported earlier this week that two simple park benches turned up recently on the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway. However, there is nothing all that simple about these seats built at MIT. These park benches can charge your smartphones, connect to the Internet, and light up after 5 p.m. all thanks to their solar-powered batteries. The designers intend to add sensors to the seats to detect for air pollution and even whether someone nearby is smoking.
