May I suggest that things like geolocation, temperature, pressure, 
humidity, altitude, etc. are all classified as part of a "Environment 
API" set?
it should make classification of future tech, as well as 
searching/looking up and documenting them a lot easier I hope!
Audio In-Out and Camera/Photo/Video all belong under a umbrella Media 
API set after all as well?
