It is an idea that all physical objects are in a network and
that many of these physical objects contains electronics of some sorts. Cars
have navigation systems and sensors, buildings have fingerprint scanners and
metal detectors. Pets have microchips in them to identify the owners. There are
millions of examples where physical objects have electronics in them now where
they did not before. People have heart
monitors inside them to keep close check on your heart, your lights and
curtains and alarm systems can all be controlled by a press of a button on your
phone.
I envision that the rate in which technology is increasingly
being embedded into our homes, work, schools and everyday life is not going to
stop. Technology mainly electronics are going to be so fixed into our lives
that at some point civilization would not be able to cope without it and in a
business sense I see there being more people being unemployed because machines
are taking over their jobs. There will be no need for meetings in person as most
of the meetings would be over a video call or phone call. But yet there are
certain jobs that cannot be taken over and certain skills that machines or just
anyone can do. Creative people are very sought after yet once they have done
their job then they are no longer needed.
