continuous connectivity
techniquessynchronization protocols and ergonomic, hand-based user-interface design
technologiespersonal digital assistants, pen-based computing, handheld devices, connection cradles, Bluetooth and wireless synchronization
practicespractices of mobile computer usage, always-connected devices, cloud-based computing
experiencesexperiences of brining computing with you, your computer desktop in your pocket, accessing the server farm from your hand
fantasiesvisions of ubiquitous computing and wearable computing, of the fantasies of the smallest, most powerful, personal computer
languagesthe language of connectivity and transferability, of devices that are globally distinct
metaphors“The whole world in your hand”, “See the future in your hand”, “Where do you want to go today?”

We need a renewed commitment to the GIS & Society agenda, to interrogate the conditions of technological development as these impact a society hungry for compelling geospatial data.
