The Invisible Web is closer than I thought - thanks to the genius of MIT's Media Lab.
All the talk about the third screen and the screen generation - everyone glued to screens all hours of the day - slightly misses the bigger point. The true integration of the web and the world is when the digital leaves the screen behind.
The device itself is a barrier, as they point out at the beginning of the film above.[People don't want drills, they want holes.]
The web itself is our sixth sense - an extension of the Cartesian theatre of operations that outsources certain functions to the cloud - that accesses data in real time to make it useful for where you are [geotility] and what you are doing [contextility].
Using your hand as a keypad is just awesome - the brain implant is to come.
