Thing is refer to a passive,non-living things in our world while internet act as a connection to connect each other within the earth. Whenever there are connectivity, non-living things are "living". This is been know that when a "thing" is provided a connection, it is living! Although it does not have a brain to function but the ability to connect users with action is what make a thing live. For example,have you ever think that what if your bed will automtically call you up when you're about to late to class? The latest and common technology appear would be the iRomba,which is a type of automatic vacuum robot. It will clean the floor itself and back to the "home" to charge itself.It also can detect height so that it would not fall down to the stairs and timing to clean the floor. Vacuum cleaner is an object,but vacuum robot,is a living thing,as if it is really living.
However,when it connect to the internet,this is what we called as blogjet. Blog b the object,is an action done as if it is really alive. IT circulate and passing information but it does not really living with heartbeat and blood system. Blogjet has three peculiarities:
- Blogjects track and trace where they are and where they’ve been;
- Blogjects have self-contained (embedded) histories of their encounters and
experiences. - Blogjects always have some form of agency — they can foment action and
participate; they have an assertive voice within the social web.
Blogjet has the ability to keep track on their route,something similiar to cookies but blogject runs in a physical world. The ability to trace is just like a missing dog but whenever it has a chip within its body,we can trace them and find the dog back. It is something living in term of the action the "chip" has but not-living in term of heartbeat.
Blogjet also able to keep history of their experience.By keeping the past experience it is just like a living things. A data of experience and memories keeping inside and able to trace back whenever we want. Ithas to do with the barcode. Whatever data is key into the barcode,it will remembered.
Nowadays, it is not necessary to do anything using manually but thru non-living things joint together, it become alive and overcome the basic concept of living.By using software to connect a non-living things, it may become alive and bring a lot more comfortable to the human.
It will be really good if my bed can wake me up! This is so much better than alarm clock!
ReplyDeleteI do agree that connection can make a non-living things alive. I believe in the future, blogjects will become the useful helper of every housewives, best worker of every employers and best friend of every human.
Nice post! Very straight to the point! :) Really hard to imagine how the software can make a piece of robot to works and functions just like a human. For me, I think that it's far more advantage than disadvantage that it can helped in our daily life. Technology maybe the final man that take care our life in the future.
