Ubiquitous Computing

• Ubiquitous Computing is computing that is omnipresent and is, or appears to be, everywhere all the time; may involve many different computing devices that are embedded in various devices or appliances and operate in the background.

• I think that technology is already being misused  in order for a certain party to reap its benefits. I do not think it is responsible however to put aside the cause and effect of our advance technology just so we can hack personal computers, steal social security numbers, shut down countries, and our lives.

• I think he is seeing a vision that of the “matrix” movies. Who is to say that it cannot become a reality, we already have virtual reality programs, why not the next level.

• Indeed he is correct, you see the American society is that of a lazy, busy, and inpatient one. We needs things, first, now and quick. Touch, vision and speech interfaces have begun to show themselves in the average American technology such as phones, and computers. These modern marvels will make computing easier.

• Computing has come a long way from just serving for functionality to personal use. Some think we are headed towards a robot controlled future of metal over lords who will use us as batteries. I believe that we are at an age where our technology is advancing on a front that probably exceeds our imagination.

• Podcasts are a great invention. I subscribe to G4tv(technology, and pop culture “geek” channel on cable) podcasts on iTunes. This podcast’s music bothered me as it seemed cheap and it made it very hard to pay attention
