Pervasive Computing: To see one possible vision of the wireless future check page 57 of the current issue of Newsweek: "The New Digital Galaxy." "Much higher tech: the next big wave isn't for hackers or geeks. Everything will soon be connected - and it will change your life. The infrastructure has yet to be created - a process that might take nearly a decade - but the vision is well drawn. A mix of broad-band information "pipes" and wireless high-speed data transfers will toss a blanket of connectedness over our homes, offices and motorways. Your home, for instance, will probably have one or more items directly hot-wired to the Internet: a set-top television box, a game console, a server sitting in the basement, maybe even a traditional PC. These would be jumping off points for a tiny radio-frequency net that broadcast throughout the house. That way the Internet would be, literally, in the air. Stuff inside the house would inhale the relevant bits. ....When can this vision be realized? Pundits estimate 5 to 7 years time frame before the new technologies arrive, bandwidth gets higher and a long list of consortiums and alliances agree on common standards. But pieces of the vision fall into place daily.... The next leap may be in merging mobile phones with the Net... Whatever the speed and shape of pervasive computing, the hope is that it will keep its main promise: integrating computers and the Internet so seamlessly into devices that we'll forget what's inside them."
