Small, inexpensive, low-powered sensors and actuators, deeply embedded into the physical environment can be displayed in large numbers, interacting and forming networks to communicate, adapt, and coordinate high-level tasks.
As these micro devices are networked, the Internet will be pushed not just into different locations but deep into the embedded platforms within each location. This will enable a hundredfold increase in the size of the Internet beyond the growth we are already anticipating. New and different methods of networking devices to one another and to the Internet must be developed.
