Tim O’Reilly: Towards a global brain
The concept of the global brain has been around since the beginning of the last century (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_brain).

Since then, the concept has become closer to a reality as described by Tim O’Reilly.

González provides it in this paper along with other critically important data about our agriculture and food security.

The technology has other potential benefits. It will allow scientists to compile a real time database of how much water is being used across the continent. Greater predictability of breakdowns could also help drive down the cost of repairs.

This is potentially interesting, but like most stuff from private companies, they don’t want people to know how it works. So we have to trust them! Seems to me to be a dying paradigm.
