Lets try something new
  • Break up into groups of 3 or 4
  • Talk about papers for 25 minutes
  • What exactly is ubiquitous computing? Come up
    with a 2-4 sentence description
  • How does ubicomp relate to other ideas weve
    discussed? E.g. Universal usability, communities,
    the web, etc
  • What other ubicomp issues should we discuss as a
    group?

    everywhere
