The document discusses the emerging concept of the Internet of Things, where everyday objects are connected to the internet and able to send and receive data. It notes that the number of internet-connected devices is growing rapidly and will exceed 40 billion by 2020. Examples discussed include smart home devices, sensors that monitor energy usage, and health monitors worn on the body. The document argues that this proliferation of connected devices will weave the internet into the very fabric of daily life.

53. “The first Internet was a place you went to. You dialed up or
logged in. It was over there, and you were here. The new
Internet is just here. It’s all around us. It’s constant, ubiquitous
and pervasive. We interact with it so naturally that there seems
to be no user interface at all. The new Internet is in our phones
and in our homes. It’s in our refrigerators and thermostats and
cars. It’s on our bodies. We ourselves are actually part of the
Internet. We’re woven into the very fabric of it.” — Dan Lyons, RWW
