In the past to transfer or share information between different systems and platforms usually required extending one system to allow access from other locations or creating batch data files that transfered data from one system to another. With the introduction of Microsoft .NET programming products the last part of making everything connected to everything else is finally available. There are four parts to this technology.
PART ONE – A common medium to connect everything.
With the development of the Internet it is now possible to connect computers and other devices to this common communications link. Everything in the world can be hooked up to the Internet if we so wish it and everything is connected to everything else.PART TWO – Expansion of IP addressing scheme. The current IP address scheme is running out but a new scheme, Ipv6, has been developed and should allow everything connected to the Internet to have its own IP address. This will allow once everything is connected to the Internet to have its own IP address so devices can locate each other.
PART THREE – DSL or higher connect speeds and ‘always on’ connectivity. With the introduction of DSL and Cable Modem service, it is now possible to have everything in the world constantly connected to the Internet. All devices in the world will be online, always, waiting for updates, data or commands from other devices.
PART FOUR – Microsoft .NET and ‘programming hooks’ for devices. With the introduction of Microsoft.NET programming languages, it is now possible to instantly update other devices in a push mode with data or commands. Before this ability, most updates to databases or devices would only occur when a computer user would process a batch of data from another system. With .NET programming languages computer systems can wait, online, for information to be pushed into the system from authorized users. Many other devices can be set up to be waiting with these hooks for commands to perform functions.
This new complete and instant connectivity will start a new era in productivity gains from the connection of computer systems and other devices.
