The innovations will bring the power of the Web right to where the shopper can touch it.
The Web can make sales associates smarter, and augmented reality can deliver more information to the store shelves.
We could access the Internet control electronics, and make phone calls, with just our thoughts. In addition, we would understand complicated subjects;
#Will the Internet of Thing replace the web? Apple stores can already pinpoint your location with unprecedented accuracy. 2014 will be the year that the##internet of things###that effort to remotely control every object on earth##becomes visible in our everyday lives.
But most of us don t recognize just how far the internet of things will go, from souped-up gadgets that track our every move to a world that predicts our actions and emotions.
In this way, the internet of things will become more central to society than the internet#as we know it today.#
#The web will#survive, just as email survived the arrival of the web. But its role will be reduced to that of a language for displaying content on screens,
which are likely to be more ubiquitous but less necessary. Here s a closer look at the internet of things that s already here,
and where it s headed. NOTE:##It s never too late to become an invisible button pusher
and learn programming skills. More at Davinci Coders. The internet of things will create a world of##invisible buttons##The#pioneer species#of the internet of things is the smartphone.
For example,#every time we take a smartphone with us in a car, it beams information on our location and speed to Google.
The result is real-time traffic information that can be used by everyone. That smartphones gather traffic data without their users ever being aware that they re doing
so shows how the internet of things replaces the internet-related actions we already know##click a button,
and whatever other data Google and other companies have about us, leads to what#Amber Case, a researcher for mapping company Esri,#calls##invisible buttons.##
such as the time of day, our previous actions, the actions of others or what Google knows about our calendar,
The same can be accomplished with any number of other internet-connected sensors. GE and Quirky s motion, sound, light, temperature and humidity sensor#
internet-connected smart energy systems can figure out you re home the moment you switch on a light.
Apple s play for the internet of things Apple seems keen on the idea of invisible buttons.
once the internet knows that we re present and what our intentions might be. For example, a smart home might know
which is in the forefront of making the internet of things#accessible to people other than techies and hobbyists.
##Invisible buttons and other contextual information about you will allow the internet to do more than facilitate your needs.
#Google Now#is a good example of the potential of this technology. As long as you opt in, Google has access to every meaningful store of explicit data about yourself you create##email, contacts, calendars,
social media##and plenty of implicit ones as well, like your web-browsing history.##Adding location and other physical inputs#to that data allows Google Now to do everything from sending youhyperlocal news items targeted to the precise neighborhood in
which you live#to offering information about the television show#you re watching at that exact moment.
So what s required for more companies to tap into anticipatory computing? There are companies that specialize in reality mining,
Wearable computers will connected keep us at all times The next layer of the internet of things will require combining disparate streams of data##mined##from reality##everything from your location to the members of your social network.
##Esri s#Case said at last year s Le Web conference.####If you have to be a data scientist to do it, then it s totally wrong.##
the internet of things will replace the internet, but not by giving us another way to explicitly tell computers what we want.
the internet-connected devices around us will react automatically, and their representations in the cloud will be updated accordingly.
exactly the sort of thing the internet of things would be good At first, our connected devices will be able to monitor our state##inactivity could indicate sickness or depression.
And maybe we ve recently posted on social media about a tragedy that befell us. Text alerts are sent out to friends,
and body with the internet, this is good news . But if you were hoping that in the future,

#Does internet privacy come at a premium? Would you pay for online privacy? Once we went online the concept of privacy changed.
the Facebook mogul pointed out (on a conference call to investors) that privacy would be key to the company s growth.
This change in thinking was apparent with Facebook sacquisition of Whatsapp, to directly compete with another generally private sharing app, Snapchat.
and exposed on the internet, and want to keep the curtain drawn. The aforementioned apps fit this inevitable realization about what privacy means.
Most recently, Facebook was under criticism again, this time for theautomatic uploadof private photos. Frustrated users are ready to start paying for the privacy they could
In a certain sense, you can say that the industry of paying for internet privacy is already here,
and surf the Internet in a secure fashion, or featuring ways to pay to eliminate such intrusions on our privacy,
And I think you ll see more and more internet users willing to pay for such services. That willingness is growing with every instance of our online privacy being abused.
The fallout from his brand of spying when it came to technology used for internet interactions was broad and irrational.
Google was replaced by search engines which allow users to surf the Internet anonymously. Likewise Google chrome and Microsoft Internet explorer were traded for proxy browsers Some found smartphone camera apps
which do not log a picture s GPS. Many reluctantly gave up Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Instagram and Pinterest.
The truly worried encrypted their home computers. Understanding what it means tobe private So now that we re ready to pay for privacy,
we have to understand our prior expectations of privacy and how we can change them.
This expectation is set at some point by the site they are entering their personal data into.
and you have absolutely no privacy on that site. They own it all. This isn t true for every site, of course,
but a good majority of them. So, can we just simply disappear from the internet?
The United states Supreme court is yet to do anything with the concept of the right to be forgotten.
Yet, with online banking and email, can one really be forgotten if they wish to stay current?
Not to mention the countless variables with any laws surrounding internet privacy, mostly defining privacy. Some of those variables haveled the House of Lordsin the UK to deem theright to be forgotten ruling asunworkable, unreasonable and wrong in principle.
what isn t in the hands of search engine giants such as Google. Per their report they feel,
(or on Google) as concerning public figures should not be removed because it would serve the interests of the public to have active debate
or a right to be forgotten on the Internet. Does it suggest a level of paranoia to want to be forgotten on the internet?
Are we really revealing that much about ourselves that privacy has become something of an antiquated concept?
and social media has given us that platform to do just that, or at least try. Perhaps this is why paying for privacy is just the solution many of us are looking for.
We have proven that we need controls in social media, just like our children need parental controls on their digital devices.
is the inevitable evolution of social media sharing. Yet, who is to say that the company you are paying for privacy isn t turning around
When it comes to internet privacy, the bottom line istoonly put data on the internet that you are comfortable with being shared,
viewed or sold by people that are not you. In this era of social media and sharing, there are numerouscases of blatant ignorance.
We need to educate ourselves by reading those pesky terms of service contracts, noting which sites are sharing and
which ones aren need t. We to be vigilant as to what kind of personal data we re so eagerly sharing with the world.
