Everyware: The Dawning Age of Ubiquitous Computing
A talk by Adam Greenfield
Saturday, July 15, 2006
14:00-16:00
Mita Campus, Keio University
The age of ubiquitous computing is here: a computing without
computers, where information processing has diffused into everyday
life, and virtually disappeared from view. What does this mean to
those of us who will be encountering it? How will it transform our
lives? And how will we learn to make wise decisions about something so
hard to see?
Join noted writer and critical futurist Adam Greenfield as he explores
this new technology and its implications for society, for business,
for the way we design spaces and cities - even for the way we relate
to each other.
Adam Greenfield is an internationally-recognized writer, user
experience consultant and critical futurist. He was previously lead
information architect for the Tokyo office of Razorfish.
