The Internet of Things
Public
Internet of things = using IP to interconnect physical objects with the global Internet.
"It is foreseeable that any object will have a unique way of identification in the coming future, what is commonly known in the networking field of computer sciences as "Unique Address", creating an addressable continuum of computers, sensors, actuators, mobile phones; i.e. any thing or object around us. Having the capacity of addressing each other and verifying their identities, all these objects will be able to exchange information and, if necessary, actively process information according to predefined schemes, which may or may not be deterministic."
(Internet of things in 2020 - A roadmap for the future - September 2008)
"Fusing the physical world with the digital" will create what Kevin Kelly calls the "One Machine".
So will we have to each thing a URI (and a homepage?), or to each thing an RFID chip? Or both?
Things don't have to be smart (radio-tags + computational power) to be connected. I find it significant that even abstract things can have a URI and be addressable.
