Grady Booch: Smarter products for a smarter planet

http://ibm.com/rational/announce/smartproducts/

IBM Fellow Grady Booch discusses how the trend towards developing smarter products is mandating a new approach to systems engineering. Manufactured products are converging with information technology to form revolutionary ecosystems that are permanently changing how we work, live and play. In what might be described as a new era of client-server, the client may be a car, airplane, cell phone, medical device, game system, or smart meter, where the software capabilities in the client are integrated with the products mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineering design.

Recently I read a book which publishing date was in 1996 when the everyone wonder about all the opportunites for business the internet had to offered. My question today...Will there be any new technologies which at the moment we don't have knowledge using or expanding the client/server technology? There are not many books written on the subject. Please let me know or email me at rrodasg@gmail.com with your opinions.

Cool. I just wondered if it is possible to make a Skype video conference call to a virtual PC in second life.
