Full Version: real-life host?
Doesn't matter if it's good or bad, it's the future. One of these days we'll have to log on the matrix instead of the old www I guess.

Maybe. What we are really talking about is changing the User Interface about how we interact with the Internet. If people can make more money that way or it somehow helps exchanging information, then I might be more inclined to say "yes".
heh, someone please check the link and what its about...

In a nutshell, instead of security systems being separate from the IP backbone, their system seems to tie them all together.
not only security, but allso enviromental control and anything else. get the right connection and the right code and you could in theory trow up a security and/or enviromental control panel on your computer.
that in combo with the normal printer and filesharing seems to be more or less exactly what sr hosts are able to do
all we need now is a single vr metaphor to put on top of all the devices and connections

This has been around for a while, maybe not some of the older buildings or as large scales but it has existed. The last company I worked for, we installed a Fob-controlled keyless entry and it used our existing Ethernet backbone to connect the different "nodes" or entry points. We could remotely login to the servers and administer the whole system from afar.
But typically, the security was handled on a separate network than the office data. Couple reasons for this, one being the limitations on IPv.5, just too many decives and not enough addresses to go around. Second, the last group of people you can trust are the employees. Period. Far too many instances of security breaches and fraud/theft come from employees.
That being said, there can be many good aspects of this, with fine, by cubicle basis for temperature control, you could have much more comfortable employees. With the proper tweaking, emergency services could have a better picture of where victems are. Building security could know where an intruder is. When 5 people log off at the same time, an elevator could be dispatched to their floor.
All sorts of behinds the scenes improvements to employee life there, as well as a plethora of abuses.
