Internet of Things

My prior blog post looked at wireless water meter systems.

Wikipedia describes the Internet of Things at this link

Wireless water meters are one of those things.  There are different ways of identifying the "things" and there will be billions.  If each thing has an IP address then it is uniquely identified as a thing.  There is a great need for more IP addresses and that brings on IPV6 which was looked at in various ways in prior posts on this blog.

One of the ways of looking at the universe of the internet of things is that each digital dollar denomination have an IPV6 address.  Each account owning a dollar have a IPV6 address.  Each entity that is able/authorized/registered to receive and spend dollars have an IPV6 address.  Each debt related loan document have an IPV6 address.

The connectiveness of things is all about each thing having a unique identity in order to connect with another uniquely identified thing.
