The transformational capacity of ubiquitous and contextual computing
“Fish don’t know the existence of water until beached”

Ubicomp involves a variety of very different interactions and with that
problems for users

Utilize information about other people’s behavior for our own

networked environments + context aware computing
“Seizing-the-moment”, web + social + context mashing

The changing possibilities for researching humanities and social
sciences
“We can follow the imagination, opinions, ideas and feelings of hundreds of millions of people. We can see images and videos they
create and comment on, eavesdrop on conversations they are engaged in, read their blog posts and tweets, navigate their maps,
link to their track lists and follow their trajectories in physical space.
Manovich, March 2011

“It is as if the inner workings of [our] private world’s have been pried open
because their inputs and outputs have become thoroughly traceable.”
Bruno Latour, 2007
