Ubiquitous computing - almost imperceptible, but everywhere around
us - is rapidly becoming a reality. How
will it change us? how can we shape
its emergence? Smart buildings, smart furniture, smart clothing...
even smart bathtubs. Networked street signs and self-describing
soda cans. Gestural interfaces like those seen in
Minority Report. The RFID tags now embedded in
everything from credit cards to the family pet.
All
of these are facets of the ubiquitous computing
author Adam Greenfield calls "everyware."
