Introduction


Our home lives are destined to become more "connected" with our appliances and "toys" than we ever could have imagined. The charm of an Inescapable Data world is that an acceleration of utility occurs as more and more devices become data and network enabled. This chapter explores how the three most important Inescapable Data technologiesradio frequency ID (RFID), wireless networking, and XMLwill increase automation in our lives. This chapter also covers the security role of video in our personal lives and how GPS-everywhere will benefit us. There is a clear trend toward higher interconnection of a broad range of gadgets in our lives, and the presumption that follows is that there is an accompanying amount of utility.
