The Wireless Boom That Won't Need Us
"Nice start, but it pales next to the prospect of ZigBee, an emerging wireless standard for short-range machine to machine communications. ZigBee is not for big corporate servers monitoring each others' transactions, but, rather, it's designed to link up an unimaginable number of tiny devices. Think thermostats, lighting controls, environmental sensors, and medical monitors. Networks comprised of these automated devices will generate more information than people can hope to consume and potentially establish hitherto unknown patterns that tell how the world works. Call it the Robonet."
