I believe that our world will become more like a theme
park, as the world becomes
more and more wirelessly connected. The important thing is to
understand how being wirelessly connected changes our daily
life, our way of life and how it creates
new values.
Frank Koopman
Internet, that brought the world closer together, will bring even greater
changes as it moves further into our real lives. The Internet is now surfed
wirelessly, escaping from old grey cables. It isn’t confined to certain places
anymore, and being connected is becoming like breathing -something we can’t
live without. Local storage is no longer a necessity
because information is now wireless available anytime and anywhere. The importance
of ownership is diminished in favor of a "presence" on the Internet.
The Internet in the near future will be able to learn and analyze the information from
various sources. This means that these sources will multiply rapidly, interconnect,
and create an entirely new dynamic network of networks, whereby the physical
world becomes integrable with computer networks -an Internet of Things.
Real-time communications will be possible not only by humans but also by
machines at anytime and from anywhere. The advent of the Internet of Things
will create a plethora of new innovative wireless apps and
managed services,
which will enhance the quality of life.
This will result in a world rapidly
moving towards ubiquitous mobility, a world in which millions of wireless
mobile human and machine subscribers access data, things, video, voice, and
personalized broadband Internet applications with a blink of an eye.
