… towards the Internet of Things

• “I have a dream for the Web [in which computers] become capable of analyzing all the data on the Web – the content, links, and transactions between people and computers. …..our daily lives will be handled by machines talking to machines.”

Tim Berners-Lee 1999

• “… a system of systems is what emerges when you start to link these isolated systems …” IBM

• “One problem with the web aren’t really interested in documents, they’re interested in things” – BBC Radiolabs
