Ubiquitous computing, or what the designer/information architect Adam Greenfield calls "Everyware," is an emerging trend just starting to gain attention. It refers to the integration of embedded computing, moving computing off the desktop and out of our conventional idea of "the computer" and into everyday aspects of our lives. We are only beginning to see the effects of this technology: in our cameraphones and PDAs, the EZPass that lets us cruise through the tollbooth without stopping, the ID chip that will help let someone return our lost pets, the iris scanner that admits us to high-security areas, our automobiles' GPS systems that keep us on course.
In this book, Greenfield explores the technologies, practices, innovations, and policies that combine to create this environment where nearly every object is enabled with surprising new properties, allowing people to move around and interact with computers more naturally than they currently do. He explains not only what things like RFID (radio-frequency ID) chips, Ipv6, ultra-wideband networking, and heads-up displays are, but where they've come from and how they fit into the everyware puzzle. He also touches on the cultural roots of ubiquitous computing, proposes design and ethical principles for those working in the field, and opens our eyes to the implications of exchanging privacy for convenience. For a thought-provoking discussion on how ubiquitous computing is already transforming the way we live, this is the place to turn.
Product Description
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. In a series of brief, thoughtful meditations, Greenfield explains how everyware is already reshaping our lives, transforming our understanding of the cities we live in, the communities we belong to--and the way we see ourselves.
What are people saying about the book?
Adam Greenfield is intense, engaged, intelligent and caring. I pay attention to him. I counsel you to do the same. --HOWARD RHEINGOLD, AUTHOR, SMART MOBS: THE NEXT SOCIAL REVOLUTION
A gracefully written, fascinating, and deeply wise book on one of the most powerful ideas of the digital age--and the obstacles we must overcome before we can make ubiquitous computing a reality.--STEVE SILBERMAN, EDITOR, WIRED MAGAZINE
Adam is a visionary. he has true compassion and respect for ordinary users like me who are struggling to use and understand the new technology being thrust on us at overwhelming speed.--REBECCA MACKINNON, BERKMAN CENTER FOR INTERNET AND SOCIETY, HARVARD UNIVERSITY
