Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
A quick little primer on web 3.0
Referred to variously as Web 3.0, The Semantic Web and The Internet of Things, whatever we call it , it'll soon be upon as and reshaping our lives.
Sitting in a symposium on "Technology in A Cold Climate" at the RSA yesterday, I realised I wasn't as up to speed with what it means as I want to. In trying to rectify that this morning I came across this video which I think makes a good breast of explaining 3.0 at a high level.

Try this google search.
I'm more interested in what you say to the engineers.
I have 20Mb but stupidly have only old 10Mb cards in the machine I am using as a router. :(

THE important thing I got from this clip was the notion of the internet (i.e. IP addresses) in devices, machines, objects which is an idea that been around a long time, since the early days of UNIX. This is actually an old concept:
One of the first implementations of what is now the Internet was in vending machines in the 1970s for Coca Cola (eg. in railway stations) which via a dial-up modem, could automatically tell HQ when stocks needed replenishing and report if there was a malfunction. UNIX is the basis of the Internet (and of course the foundation of UNIX-class operating systems such as Mac OS X and Linux).
This peek into the future – internet communciation everywhere – will be enabled by low level work done on IP addresses (IP version 6) that will enable a truly enormous expansion in the ability to address and identify a particular device (i.e. its Internet Protocol address, I believe also known in the industry as the “Dotted Quad”.
So there is the potential for everything from one’s car to stove to refrigerator, one day to have an IP address. Fire & burglar protection. And maybe street lights and traffic lights. And gadgets that we have yet to see ...
