The document discusses how universal "daemonization" of all physical objects through sensors, personal daemons, and APIs will change everything by connecting all objects and enabling constant customization mediated by personal assistants. It outlines how everything from homes, vehicles, devices, infrastructure and more will broadcast attributes and expose functionality through APIs. However, it raises important questions around privacy, security, ownership and control that will need protocols and policies to address as this "Internet of Things" becomes a reality.

The power comes from the continuous interaction between daemons

16. Personal Assistants

Siri and Google Now will become integral to our lives
- managing calendar
- texting
- emailing
- finding you movies
- picking food for you
- filtering mates
- parsing daemons
