The Internet of things: from networked objects to ubiquitous computing

Throughout the article, it specifically mention the term "Blogjects".
It sounds complicated but it is not. Basically, Blogjects is the word which come from the combination of "blog" and "objects". Blog is a website which enable the people to express and share various incident or commenting on a specific topic. Simply, blogjects mean the "objects" have represent the human blogging.

It is interesting that the act of blogjects and human bloggers could be the same, likewise they can create posts or any links. In other words, they have the same act but different approaches. As Julian Bleecker mentioned " The most peculiar characteristic of Blogjects is that they participate in the exchange of ideas. Blogjects don't just publish, they circulate conversations."

Based on this statement, perhaps the blogjects is more lively and active than human bloggers, they can exchange ideas same as the human. Sometimes, human might not willing to exchange idea or pay attention to the post and comments. However, there is a high possibility for the blogjects to exchange the ideas and circulate conversations. Look at the video below, it discuss about the Internet of Things and it is really interesting.


 Here are the 3 keys characteristics which able to differenciate the blogjects from the internet objects in the social web:
  1. It is able to do tracking and tracing.
  2. Able to record and experience the histories which they encountered.
  3. Blogjects is interactive within a group because it enables them to share information.
Therefore, from these 3 characteristic, we can see that they are empirical which is like a camera that able to record the information. In other words, it is able to log and remember their act; meanwhile it is able to share their information with the others.

To conclude, personally I think human blogging would be still better than blogjects. It is because blogjects would be still not as vivid as human and also the intepretation too. What do you think? Do you think blogjects is really that good? Indeed, with the high technology nowadays, there might be still a lot of "things" could be replace the bloggers in the future.
