Smart Devices are Future of Wi-Fi

By Nancy Gohring

Smart devices may achieve the ultimate vision for Wi-Fi: With a Wi-Fi cloud stretching everywhere, turning on the stove can be done remotely. More so than Internet access, remote control may be the killer app for Wi-Fi.

Maybe. A lot of “ifs” surround the reality of Wi-Fi-enabled everything, including the kitchen stove. But the vision is pretty cool.

I hate to sound like a luddite, but I don't think I want to stove to turn on remotely. My cat sits on the stove to look out the window. When I want to use the stove, I shoo him away. I love the idea of smart devices, but unintended consequences may end up being the rule...

How is only limited by the peoples imagination. I'm sure there are many potential applications waiting for the technology to catch up.

The Internet is the killer application. As technology deployment increases, we find new ways to develop cultural devices to communicate with one another. Blogs are a case in point.

To me the question is how will we use this new technology, for the home, for business and community?
