• Ubiquitous Computing

  In 1988 Mark Weiser of Xerox PARC coined the term "ubiquitous computing", and in 1991 he spelled out the particulars of this concept in a Scientific American article called "The Computer for the 21st Century".  We discuss whether or not Weiser's vision was achieved.  It's hard to argue that computers are now all around us, but it doesn't seem like they've faded into the background as Weiser hoped.The Computer for the 21st CenturyDesigning Calm TechnologyToward Ubiquitous Operating Systems: Lessons from the FieldAmbient Computing Has Arrived: Here's What It Looks Like in My HouseSend us a text
