Twilio Super Sim – Public Beta
I've always thought it would be fun to make experimental hardware devices with this type of technology. An example:<p>Build a solar-powered device that you stick up in a tree in a forested patch near an urban center where kids go and have bush parties/bonfires/etc. The device would include a text-to-speech synthesizer. It's dormant most of the time, but designed to activate when people are around it at night. As the "admin", you get a notification when it turns on and can receive some low-res video/audio from the scene, and you can send it messages that are read aloud using the TTS synth.<p>I imagine it would be quite disconcerting if you were smoking pot in the woods and suddenly a voice in the trees started talking to you.
