1 The transformational capacity of ubiquitous and contextual computing

2 “Fish don’t know the existence of water until beached”

3 What is it – or, what could it be? What? Amazon

4 Mark Weiser ‘father of ubicomp’ Mark Weiser ‘father of ubicomp’ “Ubiquitous computing names the third wave in computing, just now beginning. First were mainframes, each shared by lots of people. Now we are in the personal computing era, person and machine staring uneasily at each other across the desktop. Next comes ubiquitous computing, or the age of calm technology, when technology recedes into the background of our lives.”

5 Adam Greenfield Adam Greenfield “ In everyware the garment, the room and the street become sites of processing and mediation… an intricate dance of information about ourselves, the state of the external world, and the options available to us at any given moment.”

6 Weiser’s principles for ubiquitous computing The purpose of a computer is to help you do something else. The best computer is a quiet, invisible servant. The more you can do by intuition the smarter you are; the computer should extend your unconscious. Technology should create calm.

7 Ubicomp involves a variety of very different interactions and with that problems for users

8 Placing IoT’s alongside science fiction…

9 The Matrix >>> Are we all being assimilated? >>>

10 Context aware computing Smart Cities

12 Utilize information about other people’s behavior for our own navigational decisions

13 networked environments + context aware computing

14 “Seizing-the-moment”, web + social + context mashing

16 Golding argues that the “tools invented to seize the moment have begun to define the moment”

17 The changing possibilities for researching humanities and social sciences

18 “We can follow the imagination, opinions, ideas and feelings of hundreds of millions of people. We can see images and videos they create and comment on, eavesdrop on conversations they are engaged in, read their blog posts and tweets, navigate their maps, link to their track lists and follow their trajectories in physical space. Manovich, March 2011
