CeNSE: A central nervous system for the earth

The internet enabled a communication revolution. But the data moving around this network is largely generated and input by humans. Banking records, shopping habits, blog and news postings, pictures, email, tweets - all records of human activity by humans. The expansion of the internet and the power of exchanging information has lead to a commoditization of networking hardware enabling even the most mundane devices to become web or net enabled. Many of our mobile devices include two or more ways to access the broad network of information. The practice of extending the net has led to an internet beyond computers; its now an internet of things (IoT).
