7. The IST vision Bringing the users, “people”, to the foreground….. ….. to the “centre of our attention” Bringing the users, “people”, to the foreground….. ….. to the “centre of our attention” –building trustful technologies for the background (almost invisible) Moving to an era where ….. “ Our surrounding is the interface’ to IST applications & services” Moving to an era where ….. “ Our surrounding is the interface’ to IST applications & services” Exploring beyond “the PC, screens & keyboard interfaces”... Exploring beyond “the PC, screens & keyboard interfaces”... Enabling multi-sensorial dialogues ….. Enabling multi-sensorial dialogues ….. –supported by computing & networking –‘everywhere’, embedded in everyday objects (e.g: furniture, clothes, vehicles, smart materials, …)

8. Towards an “all inclusive knowledge society” IST today PC based ………………………………… “Writing and reading” ….…………….…. “Word” based information search ….…… Low bandwidth, separate networks …..…. Mobile telephony (voice) ……………….. Micro scale ……………………………… Silicon based ….………………………… eServices just emerging ………………… Only 5% of global population on-line …. “Ambient Intelligence” tomorrow “Our surrounding” is the interface Use all senses, intuitive Context-based knowledge handling Infinite bandwidth, convergence,.. Mobile/Wireless full multimedia Nano-scale + new materials Wide adoption (eHealth, eLearning, …) >70% of world-wide population on line

9. By 2005, Europe should have: modern online public services modern online public services –e-government, e-learning, e-health,... a dynamic e-business environment a dynamic e-business environment –e-commerce, business process restructuring,... and, as an enabler for these widespread availability of broadband access at competitive prices widespread availability of broadband access at competitive prices –optical fibre access, mobile broadband, local loop competition,... a secure information infrastructure a secure information infrastructure –network security, cyber crime, data protection,...
