First of all, smart dust is NOT LIKE DUST

The photo has an example of a tiny computation device known as smart dust.

As you can see, you will not be breathing this into your lungs.

When marketing people make up names like smart dust,

They are using metaphors

They don't literally mean that dust particles are suddenly made smart

If people refuse to do research and learn what is really being talked about

Then you are going to be manipulated by unscrupulous posters of copy pasta

What is smart dust?

Smart dust, which is a bit of a misnomer given the current size of the technology, is a term used to describe a group of very small sensors called microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), sometimes called ‘motes’. They are not, as the name suggests, microscopic; most MEMS range from 1mm in size down to 0.02mm, but their tiny size does make them suitable for scattering over or embedding into surfaces such as paint to collect datasets.

Each mote contains a microprocessor for control logic and signal processing, and sensors that can detect variables such as movement temperature, vibration, magnetism and chemicals as well as location.

Powered by a micro-battery (some of which can last up to 10 years between charges) or solar cells, motes can communicate with each other by optical or radio frequency means to form autonomous networks. The operating system and software is designed to execute short pieces of code for a specific purpose.

It's NOT dust. It is not nano-particle size.
