We may all feel that we are already fully integrated with the Web: we can access it whenever desired on desktops, laptops and mobile devices. However, the Internet is gradually expanding through physical objects with the burgeoning Internet of Things (a.k.a. Web 3.0).
The notion of remote communication with household appliances is exciting. As discussed in the above video (in which we were consulted by a TV news show), widespread applications of the Web throughout our households will be incredibly convenient. We will be able to turn our ovens on and off from afar. Our refrigerators will notify us when we are out of milk so we know to stop at the store on the way home.
The Pew Research Center released a report in May 2014 on the developing Internet of Things industry. Authors Janna Anderson and Lee Rainie noted that 83% of the 1,600 Web experts polled by Pew for its 2014 Future of the Internet project agreed that the impact of device interconnection would be “widespread and beneficial” by 2025. In other words, although Web 3.0 is exciting, it will gradually come to fruition over the next 10 years, as security experts grapple with the extraordinary challenges it represents.
