智能手機、智能手表、智能眼鏡,甚至智能冰箱、智能汽車,我們生活中的每件東西似乎都可以連接網絡,讓我們隨時保持在線狀態,同時還讓我們的生活更加智能、便捷。這大概就是未來萬物網(the Internet of Everything)將會帶給我們的生活吧。
The Internet of Things was the 'it' word for 2013, it concisely summed up the act of devices being more interactive with users. The Internet of Everything expands that idea. The Internet of Everything is described as something that brings together people, data and things, to create networked connections that turns information into action. So rather than just connecting devices (like the Internet of Things), the Internet of Everything connects, well, everything.
物聯網(the Internet of Things)是2013年的潮詞,它是對各類設備與用戶間更多互動行為的精確總結。萬物網(the Internet of Everything)將這一理念擴大。萬物網指將人、數據和事物匯聚在一起,然后創建成一個相互關聯的網絡把信息轉換為行動。因此,除了(像物聯網那樣)簡單將設備連接起來以外,萬物網將所有事物都連接在一起。
From the connected lounge room to internet-enabled fridges, from the smart TV to the watch that keeps your Tweets up-to-date, technology has evolved to such a point that you could throw a dart in almost any direction and hit an internet-connected "thing".
從有網絡連接的客廳到互聯網支持的冰箱,從智能電視到可以隨時更新微博的手表,科技已經進步到你朝任何一個方向扔出一枚飛鏢都能擊中一樣與互聯網連接著的“事物”。
