IoT: Talking with Things on Internet

But How Do We Actually Talk to the Internet of Things? | Innovation Insights | Wired.com:
"Natural language programs and voice interface systems are increasingly common additional features to devices and seem an obvious solution."


When the Internet was new (for mass-population), there was a lot of guessing what could be done with it,
starting with email, and with web in particular. 20 years later, many of those ideas are actually realized.
On one side, it is much less "perfect" than anticipated, but on the other it is broader: internet is not just a convenience anymore, it is an integral part of life for very large number of people.

The IoT comes with much more hype, but surprisingly without a "killer apps", like email and www ware in the early 90's. Something like Netscape would enable a major breakthrough, on the scale of Google.
So the question now is: what is "cooking" in research labs that may resemble web browser if IoT?
Obvious related, and primary, question is: what is the "www" of "IoT?"
It there is not such ":thing", it should be created NOW.
