Something else evolves, either a prosthesis that organizes our toys or a feedback device for Big Brother. Connectivity fans will love it! Meanwhile, the Mormon leaders teach how to sew, Glenn Beck praises the caller who is buying chickens and goats for his family, and there are fresh concerns about EMP. Extreme variation hints of instability, it also lights up thrill-seekers and avid Darwinians...

"The Network Of Everything: Personal Networks Will Have To Cope With At Least A Thousand Devices
"ScienceDaily (Nov. 24, 2008) — Wireless experts believe that, by 2017, personal networks will have to cope with at least a thousand devices, like laptops, telephones, mp3 players, games, sensors and other technology. To link these devices will require a 'Network of Everything'. It represents an astonishing challenge, but European researchers believe that they are moving towards the solution....
"... It may seem an impossible figure, but in the near future the number of personal devices will multiply enormously. One person might have dozens of sensors, monitoring vital signs like heart rate and temperature, and even the electrolytes present in perspiration. And then there are sensors and actuators in the home, including light switches, and more again in cars."
