The accelerometer has a large impact in the environment and especially animals. This device can be used to track endangered animals and see how they behave in the wild. It is crucial to stay away from these animals so that they will act natural, and it is very hard to always follow the animal. So instead a chip planted to see where the animals goes. Without this device we would never have known how animals live in the wild. This device is very important to biologists who interact with these animals on a daily basis. In fact it was used to see where birds migrate. It is most important to Marine biologists who can not observer their specimens on a daily basis. So by placing an accelerometer they can see where the animal eats, and where it travels.
