Our bandwidth and the speeds at which we access the web will grow fivefold over the next few years thanks to advances in wired and wireless technology. Not only are we connecting faster, but we're also doing it from more places thanks to mobile broadband. These two things combined are creating a rush of data that will be generated and consumed. At a GigaOM Bunker Series event held today in San Francisco, a group of technologists explored how the next generation of the web will use location, sensors built into devices such as our mobile phones and other context clues to "give the Internet a body."

In the future, metadata will be available on our mobile phones and it
will provide computers with contextual information around data that
developers create, according to Marc Davis, partner at Invention Arts
and former chief scientist of Yahoo Mobile. By bridging the gap between
pieces of information, particularly geolocation data, temporal
information (when something is created) and other contextual
information that Davis called the "who, what, when and where" clues,
we'll be able to help machines filter through data in ways that are
more relevant for us.
