Everyware
Book (italiano):
<p style="margin: 0px;">Ubiquitous computing--almost imperceptible, but everywhere around us--is rapidly becoming a reality. How will it change us? how can we shape its emergence?</p><p style="margin: 0px;">Smart buildings, smart furniture, smart clothing... even smart bathtubs. networked street signs and self-describing soda cans. Gestural interfaces like those seen in <i>Minority Report</i>. The RFID tags now embedded in everything from credit cards to the family pet.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">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.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">What are people saying about the book?</p><p style="margin: 0px;"><i>"Adam Greenfield is intense, engaged, intelligent and caring.
