Week 8 Article Review: Questioning Ubiquitous Computing (Katie Mcdonald's 892 Weblog): Katie Mcdonald's weblog for documenting work done in 892 in 2007
This was a very interesting article regarding the whole idea of ubiquitous computing. The beginning gives a clear explanation of where ubiquitous computing has come from and how it compares to artifical intelligence and virtual reality. Basically the author does not believe that we should accept the word of leaders in technology that we want or need ubiquitous computing. In the conclusion he says, 'It appears then, that in the name of “enhancing the world” the proposals for Ubiquitous Computing constitute an attempt at a violent technological penetration of everyday life."
