Abstract :
Today, more and more "things" have an IP identity and thus are able to communicate with each other though the Internet. The IP identity of things (or Internet of Things), refers to uniquely identifiable objects and their virtual representation in an internet-like structure. The paper describes the impact of the Internet of Things has on the technology roadmap through time. The author asks how will the eating habits be affected if foods also were equipped with IP identity?".
