That actually has something to do with this evolution of the internet idea that's been floating around here (most likely) boring the pants off youse guys. The key here, is that this is an interface device, and not a literal evolution of the internet itself. They claim it's a "sixth sense" device, that can give you an entirely new way of dealing with the world by getting instant data about something in front of you.
I'm not sure this would ever really improve the quaility of your life, infact it might just suck you into being constantly manipulated (or even imprisioned) by this cloud of data. (where does this data come from, who provides this service, who makes sure this info is based on fact and not p.r.? are some questions that pop up.) But it's certainly an interesting peek into a totally different way of using the global database.
(Vid is 8 minutes long...but is pretty fun.)
