Towards a Ubiquitous Networking World

Stuffed in: 2 DoCoMo
... the world of ubiquitous computing envisioned by Dr. Mark Weiser at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center more than 10 years ago now seems just around the corner, thanks to the advancement of microchip technologies and short-distance wireless technologies in recent years. In an ideal ubiquitous networking world, a vast number of computing devices that are found everywhere provide people with the best services by automatically tracking their needs, objects and surrounding environments. Ubiquitous networking offers us a chance to create a new world that can best be described as a "ultra-environment" by linking the real space to the virtual one; real people, objects, and environment are organically connected with contents and date in a virtual world created via networks.
