The Internet of everything is not about machines. Nor is it about devices. The Internet of everything will be about regular people who have a global reach. And not just symbolically.

As our compute powers increase with the newest hardware...and as this hardware grows increasingly smaller combined with an ever present Internet people will naturally extend their networks ever farther across the globe.

Social networks already allow an almost instant national presence. We all have Facebook friends from past and present all across the place as we watch the Twitter feed to give us a feeling for the mood of the hour on a national level. Multi player gaming already connects their participants from 'the four winds' and in real-time.

These are the first steps of an even bigger phenomena and offers an exciting expansion of the everyday experience of millions around the globe.
