Beer Mat may win out

The old adage of getting out your chair for a refill of your favorite lager or malt is now in the past, at least according to two German students who have recently invented a “beer mat” that the glass is near empty.

The sensor then sends the response to a central computer located behind the computer telling the wait staff or bartenders that you are nearly empty and need a refill.

I believe that this is an extremely ingenious idea that could prove extremely lucrative in the long run; assuming the students market and produce it sensibly. This would be just another example of how the world population is becoming more and more dependent on the technological advances of people around the world.
