Internet - as we understand it today - consists of a quantity of websites which are separated in space. Like moving between countries you can move from one website to another and find another world with its own design, content, and rules. However borders between different websites are diffusing due to OpenStack protocols spreading (and other DataPortability initiatives spreading). Soon internet will become seamless world thanks to “widgets” and “gadgets”. But one border is still quite strong.
This border is a monitor screen which divides our life on “real” and “internets”. A lot of people live a big part of their lives in the Web. They communicate, share their most important things over the Web, and even find such things there (for instance, due to “Facebook” or “Twitter”).
Let’s imagine future without this border. Information about people and things surrounds them at the very same place where people and things are, it covers them and is available at any time. Welcome to the future of ubiquitous computing and omnipresent information.
Welcom to the kingdom of Digital Ether.
