Every thing is identified and tagged by the network. That way, when you need a thing, you can ask the network and it will tell you where the nearest one is. Then you can go and ask to use it.

Tagging can be via chip or barcode, manual data entry, or image recognition.

Central server could hold directory of all things, or each networked device could share peer-to-peer data on things it knows about or can see.
