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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

**描述**

從現在嵌入在從汽水罐到家庭寵物的 RFID 標籤，到能夠微妙適應訪客流動的智慧建築，再到《少數派報告》中所見的手勢介面，計算不再像以前那樣。它越來越隱形，但卻無處不在，已經從桌面移動到日常生活中——影響著幾乎每一個人，無論我們是否完全意識到這一點。

作者 **Adam Greenfield** 將這種無處不在的計算稱為「everyware」。在這個複雜主題上，Greenfield 以獨特而引人入勝的方式解釋了「行為中溶解的信息處理」如何重塑我們的生活；簡短而富有格言的章節探討了使 everyware 如此強大且似乎不可避免的技術、實踐和創新。

如果你曾經感受到下一代計算的承諾，以及它對我們所有人所代表的挑戰，那麼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，以支持我們內心最美好的事物的出現。

**特點**

我們並沒有注意到，隨著一群更智能、更小型且無處不在的設備全時連接到網絡，正在改變我們周圍的世界，但我們應該注意。那些我們未曾察覺的網絡計算機不斷地在與我們溝通。這種無處不在的計算趨勢，或作者 Adam Greenfield 所稱的「Everyware」，對我們生活的形態有著深遠的影響。Everyware 照亮了無處不在的計算的驚人承諾及其令人不安的可能性，讓我們都能在其發展中發聲。

- 這個關於新興技術「Everyware」的開眼界預覽將改變你看待世界的方式。
- 作者及信息架構師 Adam Greenfield（來自流行的 v-2.org）是無處不在計算領域的思想領袖。
- 作者對這一複雜主題的獨特而引人入勝的方式，結合了對使能技術的清晰、簡明解釋，對問題的引人注目的分析，以及對 Everyware 的個人沉思。
