Evernet
Evernet means the convergence
of wireless, broadband, and Internet telephony technologies that
will result in the ability to be continuously connected to the
Web anywhere using virtually any information device.
The next day we read that the
Internet is giving way to the Evernet, meaning that anything with
electricity is having chips embedded in it—from pagers to
toasters to cars—and connected to networks.
[Dallas Morning News, May 2000]
This is considered the next generation
technology whereby an amount of bandwidth can be possible that
would enable millions of homes to access the Web through inexpensive
cable modem, DSL, or wireless connections.
It also includes common household
appliances and home and office networks that include devices that
control the environment; such networks require an "always
on" capability for example you can connect to your fridge
through this technology.
