| Sumario: | Networked and intelligent environments will allow people complete control over their world, privacy, and property. As a result, society may get something that can be called the Control Web, a type of second Internet that is built into the increasingly networked environments and makes it possible to control access to those environments. Control Web could lead to two significant changes. First, citizens and customers would really gain control over data and communication with an improved version of the mobile telephone. Second, Control Web could lead to a safer society without leading people unwillingly into a police state.
