For many years, pundits have foreseen a world in which everything will be connected to the Internet. We’re getting there. We now have Wi-Fi-enabled refrigerators, thermostats, and bathroom scales. But what happens after things are online? Will they merely connect to the Internet or will they connect to each other?
Connecting everything we use, products and services, to each other is a powerful idea. An idea that is bigger than mobile and social. Mobile’s big because everyone is connected all the time. Social is big because we’re connected to each other. Connecting us to everything around us is the next step.
Connecting our things to each other and setting them to work on our behalf is transformative. Imagine a world in which your phone automatically mutes the ringer when you start watching a movie. Imagine a world in which your alarm clock sets itself based on your schedule and other information like the weather, the traffic, and your past behavior. Imagine a world in which the mundane parts of business travel or scheduling an appointment with a new doctor are automatically taken care of according to your preferences. That world is The Live Web.
