Area of Expertise: Technology Developer/Administrator
Topic: Technology
Headline: The NET runs us
Nutshell: The internet will be connected to everything and tell us when to do things.
Vision:With the internet growing and people making all kinds of new things that can be hooked up to it, this leads to many possibilities. Before long, your toaster will be emailing you and asking if you want waffles or toast to be ready when you get home. The refrig will take your answer to a few questions and start defrosting a item. Then the fun starts when the computers can start making decisions by themselves and tell us it’s time to wake up and the alarm clock goes off, tell us without asking that traffic is bad so get an early start.
