Next Generation Internet To Pinpoint You More Accurately

By C. Henry Adams

Recently, there were comments made by great individuals from around the World who are apart of the ISOC and the IGF.  The ISOC stands for the Internet Society. The IGF stands for Internet Governance Forum.  The discussion was regarding the 'Next Generation Internet' , whereas, it was understood that one day, possibly sooner than you or I could imagine; devices or IoTs ( Internet of Things ) connected to the Internet will be able to accurately pinpoint their whereabouts when in use.

By utilizing a geographic-concentric Internet, it will make finding geolocations more easier accurately. This will likely be the requirements for the development of machines with Internet access one day.

This means, if you are using an IoT smartphone at the corner of Ware Ave and Main Street in East Point, Georgia to call in an emergency.   The smartphone will likely be accurately picked-up by satellites, ground antennas, radar to pinpoint its exact location in locating you 24 hours a day, 7 days week and 365 days in a year, as long as, it is working; turned on /or off.

So, if  an autonomous robotic vehicle flying, rovering or moving on the ground, respond to your distress call; you can then thank the 'Next Generation Internet'.

Now of course, to evolve into this direction, it could likely do away with organizations such as ICANN (Internet Corporation of Assigned, Names and Numbers), IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority)  and what we call RIRs (Regional Internet Registries) or in America, its called, ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers) .

So,  should we be concern about the advancement in telecommunications or what?  I personally think it is important read, learn, comprehend, understand and be apart of innovations in advance technology.

Why?   As my Late Father (Deceased) would often tell me when he was living.   "Know what you are getting into before you get into it..."

Well, these are my thoughts, what say you?   Thank you for reading our blog.
