The path to pervasive computing [December 12, 2003]
InfoWorld is one of the few IT publications that has taken up convergence, pervasive computing, and embedded technology as
topics worthy of mainstream coverage. The concepts themselves are easy enough to get behind: We want each device to do as
much for us as possible, to be cheap enough to put in everyone’s hands, and to be small enough to become an unobtrusive part
of everyday life. What relegates these technologies to the fringe, or at least to the boundary between the serious and the
frivolous, is that the best current place to study this new technology category is in consumer electronics. Don’t let that
put you off. You’re about to witness the arrival of the next epoch. Do you remember the last one?
