X Internet

In short, the X Internet (or Extended Internet) is comprised of the myriad linkages between the physical world and the digital world. This burgeoning and utilitarian technology could prove to be the next big wave in the Information Age.

Examples of this type of technology are mobile phones that can read a barcode or RFID tag and direct a user to a related web site. Companies or firms could also print coupons in ads that consumers could use to link to internet sites where they could be redeemed.
