Nice article Stacey, it is nice for people to know how much R&D is behind a Wii controller or a mobile telephone.
In fact electromechanical devices are nothing new but a subcategory of sensors that convert a physical quantity to an electrical signal that can be of use in one way or another. They all over the place in industrial applications in heavy-duty forms than that met for example in an iPhone.
