SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING PROGRAMABLE AUTONOMOUS NETWORK OBJECTS TO STORE AND DELIVER CONTENT TO GLOBALLY DISTRIBUTED GROUPS OF TRANSIENT USERS

摘要

The present invention relates to a system and method which employs a globally distributed computer network populated by a plurality of programmable autonomous network objects ('PANOs') to facilitate the storage and delivery of digital information, and services based thereon, to a plurality of globally distributed group of transient users (2). In a broader embodiment, the invention provides software that behaves substantially in the manner of a super object, that causes hardware to behave in a substantially autonomous manner.
