Description

From the RFID tags now embedded in everything from soda cans to the family pet, to smart buildings that subtly adapt to the changing flow of visitors, to gestural interfaces like the ones seen in Minority Report, computing no longer looks much like it used to. Increasingly invisible but present everywhere in our lives, it has moved off the desktop and out into everyday life–affecting almost every one of us, whether we're entirely aware of it or not.

Author Adam Greenfield calls this ubiquitous computing "everyware." In a uniquely engaging approach to this complex topic, Greenfield explains how such "information processing dissolving in behavior" is reshaping our lives; brief, aphoristic chapters explore the technologies, practices, and innovations that make everyware so powerful and seem so inevitable.

If you've ever sensed both the promise of the next computing, and the challenges it represents for all of us, this is the book for you. "Everyware" aims to gives its reader the tools to understand the next computing, and make the kind of wise decisions that will shape its emergence in ways that support the best that is in us.

 

Features

We haven’t been paying attention as a burgeoning population of smarter, smaller, and ever-present devices plugs us into the grid full time, transforming the world around us, but we should. Networked computers that we’re unaware of communicate about us constantly. This accelerating trend of ubiquitous computing, or what author Adam Greenfield calls “Everyware,” has profound implications on the shape of our lives. Everyware illuminates the astonishing promise of ubiquitous computing, and its disturbing possibilities, so that we can all have a voice in its development.

•    This eye-opening preview of the emerging technology called “Everyware” will change the way you see the world.
•    Author and information architect Adam Greenfield (of the popular v-2.org) is a thought leader in the field of ubiquitous computing.
•    Author’s unique and engaging approach to this complex subject combines clear, concise explanations of the enabling technologies, compelling analyses of the issues, and personal meditations on Everyware.

描述

從現在嵌入在從汽水罐到家庭寵物的RFID標籤，到能夠微妙地適應訪客流動的智能建築，再到像《未來報告》中所見的手勢界面，計算機已經不再像以前那樣。它越來越隱形，但無處不在地存在於我們的生活中，已經從桌面上移出，融入到日常生活中，影響著我們每個人，無論我們是否完全意識到它。

作者Adam Greenfield稱這種無所不在的計算為“everyware”。在這本獨特而引人入勝的書中，Greenfield解釋了這種“信息處理溶入行為”的方式如何重塑我們的生活；簡短而警句式的章節探討了使everyware如此強大且看似不可避免的技術、實踐和創新。

如果你曾經感受到下一代計算的潛力和它對我們所有人所帶來的挑戰，這本書就是為你而寫的。《Everyware》旨在為讀者提供理解下一代計算的工具，並做出明智的決策，以支持我們最好的一面的出現。

特點

作為一個不斷增長的智能、更小和無處不在的設備群體將我們全天候連接到網絡，改變我們周圍的世界，我們並沒有注意到這一點，但我們應該。我們不知道的網絡計算機不斷地與我們溝通。這種無所不在計算的加速趨勢，或者作者Adam Greenfield稱之為“Everyware”，對我們生活的形狀有著深遠的影響。《Everyware》闡明了無所不在計算的驚人潛力以及令人不安的可能性，以便我們所有人都能在其發展中發聲。

- 這本揭示新興技術“Everyware”的令人大開眼界的預覽將改變你看世界的方式。
- 作者和信息架構師Adam Greenfield（來自受歡迎的v-2.org）是無所不在計算領域的思想領袖。
- 作者對這個複雜主題的獨特而引人入勝的方法結合了對啟用技術的清晰、簡明解釋，對問題的引人深思分析，以及對Everyware的個人沉思。
