The Power of the Invisible
by Andrew McCaskey
The invisible internet mentioned in today’s news brings to mind the incident from a few weeks ago that I told you about when talking via Skype with a friend and colleague in Australia.
The most unusual part of the discussion was that we took only passing notice of how unusual it was – to be able to fire up laptops and webcams in our respective homes on opposite sides of the globe, and casually connect on Skype for a half hour chat.
The invisible internet – appearing only as information or content on devices such as the Wii, Tivo, iPhone and Kindle approach this ideal. And when I combine it with other discussions with a friend who is in the Heating and Airconditioning business and is excited about IP aware furnaces and air handler units, I catch a vision of how far this will be embedded in the lives of my grandchildren – the first of which we are informed will be joining us on or about Sept 28.
Stay tuned.
