In a recent trip to China, I discovered something of the direction of the national policy of that country towards the development of the Internet.  In a speech in Wuxi, the Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao spoke of the drive to build the “internet of things” and provided the interesting equation:

Internet + Internet of Things = Wisdom of the Earth

  3. As a Web of systems by which we control and manage our actions and interact with the physical world.
  4. As a planetary accounting system that helps us all understand the “state of things” at the local, regional, and global level – whether that be the state of arctic polar bear habitat, or that of crowding in the city of Mumbai.
  5. As a sort of Digital Nervous System for the planet that alerts us to changes in the state of our world.
