Why things matter???

   Ever wished that when you come back home everything thing is in order. The dishes are clean, the clothes dried up and even the food is cooked and served. It would be an ideal lifestyle for all of us. Do you remember when you were small, after a tiring day playing and you come back home and sit in front of the TV. As you wanted to turn on the TV and finding for the remote, you notice the remote is beside the TV. At that moment u feel so lazy to stand and take the remote. You wish how if you could just make the remote float to your hand. Well im not going to tell anything on how to make remote's float but actually, going to talk about something more better which is about objects that can do work them selves.

   This weeks article is  by Julian Bleeckers, "Manifesto of for Network Objects - Cohabiting with Pidgeons, Aprhids and Aibos in the Internet of Things". this article covers about the internet of things. He used the term Blogjects as to address this "Things" which comes from the combination of blog + object. Blogject is refferd to the concept that now objects too can communicate. However this is only possible with the availability of the internet and objects that could connect to them.

   This type of term may be confusing or scary at first sight but nothing to be surprised that blogjects have already be part of our life. These "things", joins and exchanges ideas through the web. These is however done solely independently without any human involvement. The information is however crucial for humans to take further actions. It is somewhat  like constructing a building. The blogjects provides the information needed to make sure the platform could be build and then humans could continue to build the other floors.

   There are 3 characteristic that blogjects posses which is :-

•    Being able to track and trace where the have been 
  Many thing has now built in GPS system that could reveal the exact location they are at. The receiver could be as simple as through your smart phone. Tracking devices is a famous example for blogjects that suites this characteristic.  It remembers that last activity done or place visited and makes it easy for other to trace it back.

•    Having an assertive voice within the social webEach blogjects have their own qualities. each out stands out with its own qualities. They communicate with other things that they need to make sure they get things done individually.
  
•   Having embedded histories of their encounters and experiences
  Something like a tracking devise, blogjects have a memories stored in them. For example, all our computer usage will be stored in the history or even the car GPS could be traced back its routes by dwelling with the GPS system it self.

     These directly narrows us down to two things which is CO-Habitation - space and place and CO- participation. It is undeniable that these blojects have been part of us to help us. The information that we get from them end of the day help us all in our daily life. Besides that we have too have to participate and communicate with them to make out a better quality life with our surrounding.

   In conclusion, these blogjects are the key stepping stone in making a better future ahead. there are more things to come as times pass by and blogjects are just there mere glimpse of what lies ahead. Although human is the best in any technical works, but blogjects are there not to take over these jobs for now but to help out. Who knows Terminator era might just be around the corner where we can start shaking legs and let the  "Things" do the work for us. But is that the right way and how we want live our live as a lazy inactive humans?
