In the future, we will search for lost keys with Google search!
This is how the American writer, the leader of the cyberpunk movement Bruce Sterling, spoke about the impending era of the Internet of Things. And, despite the futuristic, I believe in it. Many items are already connected to web pages today.
Things are marked with tags in the form of small generators of radio waves or graphic symbols. Sometimes the url is attached to the coordinates in the GPS system. For example, Semapedia allows users to create graphic tags themselves and apply them to material objects. Each tag "leads" to an article in the "Wikipedia".
For example, in Tokyo, the synthesis of things and web labels is already taking shape. For the period from January 21 to March 10, 2007, the Tokyo district of Ginza turned into a kind of futuristic testing ground. Thousands of codes were applied to buildings, goods and vehicles in this small shopping area, which could be read using a mobile phone or a special device, The Ubiquitous Communicator. Scanning codes, visitors received a wide variety of information, from travel instructions to comparing prices for similar products on Amazon.
Another example. At one of the bus stops in Seattle, you can see the mysterious inscription made in blue chalk in a format like this: pote-kitea@grafedia.net. A “user” dedicated to the secrets of “networked” graffiti, having seen it, can send a message to a specified e-mail from a mobile phone. What happens next depends only on the graffiti author's fantasy. But in any case, the object on which the address is written, will send you some information in response. Nothing new seems to be invented. However, hyperlinked urban sites, indexed in turn by search engines, become full-fledged inhabitants of the world wide web.
