This article in Wired describes Digital Flowers, an ambient computing device designed by British Telecom's BTexact R&D subsidiary. The artificial desktop bouquet monitors email, Instant Messaging, and phone messages, assigning each of the 10 lightbulb-tipped stems to a configurable relationship that can be tracked, using a 3G-enabled service to monitor communications (see picture). When a contact has been neglected for too long, a stem droops, and it perks up when a configurable quota has been met.
