This week, there was the news that British company Arm Holdings has produced a tiny, battery-operated semi-conductor code-named Flycatcher that will enable a multitude of devices to connect to the Net. It is suggested that, by the end of the decade, some 50 billion everyday objects could be connected in this way.
