Network logic negotiating with other agents. Sometimes these entities may take on ‘personalities’ that engage in natural dialogue with people, and will have the ability to evolve, adapt and learn. These agents will be enabled by the billions of smart devices linked through wireless networks to the utility and sometimes each other. These devices will be able to form ‘ad hoc’ networks that come together for a specific, temporary purpose. For example, several cars in proximity may want to talk to each other to avoid having a potential crash on a particular stretch of road; a group of people who have come together for a meeting may want their agents to set up arrangements for them to work together on a set of documents and presentations; a shopper may want to interact with specific products in the supermarket he or she happens to be in. Smart devices will be worn in your clothing, jewellery and accessories, and hop into the utility via local wireless networks whenever they need to. Any thing that uses power today will use the information utility tomorrow. Any thing can be made smart and networked, and its physical location and status tracked using location services such as Global Positioning System (GPS) and cellphone networks, satellite imaging and tagging technologies like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. We already know how to keep track of millions, often billions, of people, animals, vehicles, personal belongings, electrical appliances and household objects. We can’t (yet) cope with trillions of trillions of insects, weeds, birds, leaves, flowers, rocks or stones. But vast digital archive networks are now burgeoning into existence with every conceivable kind of information, from molecular structures and astronomical observatories to records of individuals’ genetic material, their medical histories, financial transactions and electronic communications. And the infrastructure can also be connected to a huge range of instruments and devices, from earth surveillance satellites that monitor crops, water and weather, to CCTV cameras, webcams and astronomical telescopes. These, and many others, offer real-time data to users, acting as the eyes, ears and sensors of the global infrastructure. In a very practicable sense this will support the 182 Demos
The information utility instrumentation of the planet in a wholly unprecedented way. It will become very hard for countries and companies to keep most of their activities from being visible in detail and in real time to the rest of the world. Through the wall Perhaps the most subtle and far-reaching impact of the information utility will be its ability to support and mediate interactions between people through the wall. Today, accessing a web page is a solitary activity undertaken between a person and a website. Teleconferencing and videoconferencing remain primitive and cumbersome, and ‘personal networks’ among people get very little support from ICTs beyond phones and email. One of the key advances of the information utility will therefore be to support fluent collaboration and cooperation between groups and teams of people: at work, socially, in families, at play. These collaborative environments – or col-laboratories – will be the infrastructure for teams of knowledge workers and citizens who trust each other to work together to create new intellectual property or social goods. It will be invaluable for lawyers working on a case, say, or for a design team working on a new product. It will also be ideal for supporting outsourcing and collaboration between companies and organisations – for example, where a contract requires people from several organisations to work securely together for a limited period of time. The signs that this is already happening are with us. Each year we are becoming more dependent on an extremely complex interconnected infrastructure, which supports more and more of our everyday lives. This dependence is becoming crucial and irreversible. Gradually we will be more and more unable to function without it. It is instructive to look at a few examples. Work E-business and the continued development of outsourcing already demand unprecedented levels of dynamic, fleet-of-foot inter-firm Demos 183
