Welcome to the Internet of Things. Cisco and 25 other companies have formed a consortium to develop standards for IP-accessible appliances for homes, hospitals, schools, and businesses. Imagine your home thermometer alerting your doctor when you have a fever, or your refrigerator placing an order at Wegmans Online to replace your milk, or your sump pump sending you e-mail reporting water in the basement. Read the Cisco press release and check out the IPSO Alliance website at ipso-alliance.org. Add RFID tags to schoolbooks, basketballs, grocery items, and we get a system. ... Good system? ... Bad system?
