A potted plant that posts daily news on its mood and health is believed to be the world's first botanical blogger. Midori-san, which lives on the counter of a Japanese café, writes regular updates with the help of sensors attached to its leaves.
The detectors pick up electronic signals on the surface of the plant, which responds to light and human touch. The data is then combined with weather and temperature information and translated into chatty blog posts using a computer algorithm.
