The immersive Internet makes connectivity ubiquitous, seamless, and utterly natural. An immersive network spreads outward to connect every physical thing around us—cars, drones, machines, packages, pets. And it spreads inward, to monitor our bodies, respond to (or anticipate) our requests (Siri, Amazon Echo, Google Home), and fill our senses (Oculus virtual reality, augmented reality). The immersive Internet goes beyond the PC and smartphone and weaves into the fabric of our world.

Given the resources committed to them and the reverence afforded to the companies that build and own them, datacenters might be called the digital cathedrals of the twenty-first century.
