Energy Aware Power Tab is a device which enables its user to check on their power consumption and see how much are they spending on their electricity. It needs the aid of a   smart meter or an electric meter which uses wireless to transmit information about the consumption of electricity to the tab and the tab will then show the amount spend with the current usage of electricity.This device will certainly come in handy for household to know the exact amount of electricity that are spend each day and also be a tool to help them to reduce the consumption of electricity by reducing wasteful acts that increases the usage of electricity. However, one would wonder whether the usage of the Power Tab is an effective device where electricity is cheap and abundant. How would the Power Tab help in reducing the wasteful act of household if the acts can be ignored as negligible cost. I believe that although the cost of an increasing consumption will not act as an incentive for the household to reduce their consumption, the awareness of the act will and with that it is hoped that there will be a more efficient usage of electricity
