I was just watching a commercial from Cisco in which they describe the the advantages they expect to come from the tags we will be affixing to the objects around us. They describe it as the things around is waking up and connecting to the internet.
My Ludite friends will soon be telling me how evil this development well be. I will answer them, remember when you used to lose things? I remember questions, but no one is so fond of questions that they wish search would go away. They told us it would kill mystery, and that it was only mystery that made life exciting and interesting. I remember mystery, but there is more, oh so much more to life.
