Accelerated Digital Daily Routines



More of the daily habits for many are going digital..  There is no doubt, Moore's law for computing, Metcalf'e's law on connectivity are showing their effect on people! 

The examples are just glimpses into how things are changing forming a digital universe, how one's personal wake up and sleep routines, belongings, home, surroundings are changing.

Where are we in terms of this digital universe where things can communicate with each other? 

Sensors, RFID tags are enabling one way communication and are setting themselves up for two way/ multi sided communication. The magic of devices talking to devices to run the household or a business supply chain network managing itself is not far off!

What could be the benefits and challenges of inter connectivity for societies - philosophically, realistically?
