There are already many billions of devices connected to the internet.

We're still a few iterations away from what I call the primordial network that could lead to that. We need some sort of automatic peer-to-peer communication between nodes, that is not in place yet, but I'm guessing will become norm in the future to solve a different problem.

I think "Edge computing" is taking us to that direction.

That my friend sounds very similar to a famous movie from the 80s!

Which one? :)

The one with the famous Californian Governor ;)

It also sounds very similar to Mike, the computer at the Moon in “The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress”, which predates the 80s.
