The next big thing seems to be looming over our heads! Thanks to the article in Mercury News today, I got a better understanding of the revolution in the making, and what it matters for Silicon Valley.
"Microchips linked to the internet will soon be in place of billions of everyday things, leading to a world where everything is connected" - Mercury News.
Place microchips in things, animals and just may be human beings (quite possible to track elderly people to protect them from emergencies). Connect all the micro chips to internet. Monitor from one central location for centralized management. WOW!!! This is pretty amazing. I can't wait to see more of it.
And what does this mean to us and to the common man? I am also interested in knowing the impacts on the eco system. When the grape farmers are able to identify that the grape is ripe with the exact sugar content to make the wine to taste better, how does that impact the eco system in the longer run?
Yes, monitoring each parts of the airplanes with micro chips for better and safer travels, monitoring auto driven cars, and alerting the janitorial staff when a garbage can needs to be emptied is awesome. Every action must have an equal or opposite reaction, right? What's the equal or opposite reaction to micro chipping everything and connecting them to be managed centrally from a computer?
The potential of IoT based economic boom in Silicon Valley or elsewhere is very exciting. I guess at this point, we can only wait to watch, and learn and if possible be a tiny part of this IoT thing.

I think God wants to get connected with us all...So, only he let the man to create microchips!!!!
