Completely agree that it’s more of a mindset change, both for companies/developers and especially users; but I think it’s also a stepping stone for the ubiquitous or pervasive computing academics have been writing about for decades. Apps and services that can talk to each other at first and then devices. This together with the various home devices that people are already collecting and the improvement and mainstream adoption of wearables (thinking mostly of the capabilities of the apple watch here) and technologies such as ultra wideband (apple u1) should be able to take the pervasive computing one step further but adding a layer of locality. Negreponte’s Being digital is an interesting read and doesn’t really feel too outdated and talks about yet to see usages and ways for content personalisation and machine to machine communications.
