Week 13-Why things Matter

According to the article , Blogject is the combination of blog and object which meant to focus attention on the participation of “object” and “things” in the sphere of networked social discourse which called blogsphere or social web. For example which mention in the article, an early protozoa on Blogject species evolutionary chain is Pigeon that Blogs. The Pigeon that Blogs is a project by Beatriz da Costa, it’s a pigeon, or more precisely, a flock of pigeons that are equipped with some telemetric to communicate on Internet wirelessly, a GPS device for tracing where it’s been flying, and an environmental sensor that records the levels of toxins and pollutants in the air through which they fly.


The characteristic of Blogject which mention in the article are:
1.Blogjects track and trace where they are and where they’ve been;
2.Blogjects have self-contained(embedded) histories of their encounters and experiences
3.Blogjects always have some form of agency-they can foment action and participate; they have an assertive voice within the social web.

In article written that :
"Blogger is the people that create the culture , but sometimes the blogger not paying attention on the comments. However, blogject is participate in the whole meaning-making apparatus in the social web and that is becoming" internet of things". Blogjects  will make feedback if the conversation is maintenance and made consequential through hourly RSS feeds and visualization of that same routine data,this Blogject is going to get some trackback."



Can you imagine the internet connects to our daily life? Nowadays the numbers of object connecting to the internet is increasing. See the link below to found out more:

In the future, they will be more creative idea that connected to the “things” that make our life become lively and convenient. However, there will be a phenomenon which people communicate with the things rather than a people. When people communicate with the things or objects, they will become a weird relationship as people are talking to the objects not human being. But this kind of technologies will make the world become fantastic and connected as the things and objects can directly do the things that human being think and want in the same time. This is a kind of technologies that keep growing and will be achieving in the future of life.

  1. Hi zhi huey,

    Yup, the technology are getting close to us, not hard to see that, the technology involve in our life. From the day to night, I beg we touch at lease 1 technique item, smartphone? Computer?

    In the future time, I believe most of the things can control by Internet. For Instance, we can use CCTV to overview the house by part by part, room by room, every section can spot easily by the owner, and if the thief enter the house, the owner can get the message away from the house. The system will automatic contact to the house owner.

  2. Hi Zhi Huey,

    Yes, the things would become more creative in the future even though the things are so virtual. We use Internet almost everyday. Our Internet activities can be observed because blogjects can track us and those data can be easily traced back too. Then, it can be a bad thing for other people to surveillance us.

  3. Hai Zhi Huey :-)there is no doubt that we and technology have become very close to each other. Even i could just be on the net half of the day and still feel not board. More over, its keep coming better and better till date where objects can already work independently without the help of any. We cant even imagine what the future have for us...we will just have to wait and see then :-)
