At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Google’s executive chairman, Eric Schmidt said, “the Internet will disappear.”
He was speaking about the rapid rate at which everyday items are being equipped with computers and sensors. He predicts this integration will only continue to accelerate.
“I will answer very simply, that the Internet will disappear, there will be so many IP addresses because of IPv6 and so many devices, sensors [and] things that you are wearing, ... that you’re interacting with, that you won’t even sense it, you'll be interacting with it all the time,” said Schmidt.
Recently, attention has been drawn to the deals Google is working out with cellphone providers T-Mobile and Sprint. Google intends to buy usage on their existing networks at wholesale prices and sell access directly to customers.
