Its only a matter of time before this useful source of power generation will be seen more often in effecting our daily lives. One of the most sought after design for piezoelectricity, is to implement it into road systems, sidewalks, clubs, or any general area with large trafic (be it vehicle or foot). With thousands of commuters traveling daily, the energy that can be harvest from their daily routine could power many of the city streetlights and stop lights. In clubs enough piezoelectricity can be harnesed to fuel the building for the night just from people dancing.
Piezoelectic matterials are so versitile because of the general implementation to convert mechanical energy to electrical (or the other way around), that its has a plethra of applications. Even on small scale systems that can be made at home. Putting piezoelectric cells in the bottem of your shoes so your collecting energy, that can be stored and used later, just from your normal daily activities.
