A Manifesto for Networked Objects - ‘Why Things Matter’
“Once ‘things’ are connected to the Internet, they can only but become enrolled as active, worldly participants…. [they] will become agents that circulate food for thought, that ‘speak’ on matters from an altogether different point of view, that lend a Thing-y perspective on micro and macro social, cultural, political and personal matters.”
