The Physical Web

  • We’re thinking about the IoT all wrong, there is likely a backlash coming
  • The IoT is focusing on coordination when discovery is the killer ability
  • This is a fundamental rethinking of ‘the web’, moving from virtual to physical interaction
  • Every device can contain a URL, them means anything and offer more information or interaction
  • Companies are likely going to try to own this, under the guise of security, circumventing the open nature of the web
  • The W3C needs to get off its ass and do something about this. If it waits to copy an industry standard it will be too late.
