This is dead simple, but still amusing.
It is inevitable that the Internet of Things will come to life and I can't wait. Well, the privacy implications are a little disturbing but that will happen with or without the rest of the world's devices going online.
Already, it should be cheaper to tool up a line and produce only net enabled devices than it is to tool up two lines one with, one without. If that is not already the case it soon will be. This could create incredible savings just in dumb stuff like light bulbs turning themselves off when they are not needed.
Does crime fall when people know they are being watched? Yes.
Those of us who have been alive for a long time have seen the effects of accelerating changes in technology. Each advance moves everything forward. We are at or near a point where things like cell phones are becoming obsolete before their users can even properly learn to use them.
I think this stuff will make the world better; but even if it doesn't it will sure make the world more interesting.
