Waiting for the internet of things

Apparently the next big thing is going to be the "internet of things". Well at least according to Russell M. Davies on the BBC today (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15018894).
He fondly recalls, as do I, Geocities and the early days of Facebook. I had a great Geocities site and they went and closed it down.
Mr Davies claims that blogging is now a bit old hat.
Well all the more reason for me to start blogging, so here goes.
I have no idea what's going to appear on here, but hopefully it will be interesting, thought provoking and, most important of all, a bit random.
As Clay Shirky says in the BBC article: "creating something personal, even of moderate quality, has a different kind of appeal to consuming something made by others, even of high quality".
He's got a very good point.
