Coming Ubiquitous Environment

The way of living in the future society will be very different from today due to the drastic advancement of IT and other technologies.
One of the most promising change may result from the realization of U-world. From U-farming to U-healthcare, U-city, U-government and U-education.
Our environment will be full of all kinds of U-projects.

What is Ubiquitous?
Ubiqui, Latin language, means ' exist anytime and anywhere '
The concept of ubiquitous was first introduced in 1988 by Mark Weiser of Zerox in Palo Alto.
Nowadays the concept is ' users can freely access the computing and networking without consciousness of PC and network.

What makes ubiquitous world come true?
First above all we have to develop the computing and communication power.

What are the features of U-world?
We will not see IT components anymore, anywhere.
Human-machine, machine-machine interface will control the U-world.

For example we can utilize U-badge, U-dress, U-shoes and U-necklace of a dog.

In the U-world, everyone can utilize ant device and any service anytime, anywhere.

We may be so convenient in the U-world.
We can use it from healthcare, security monitoring, natural disaster monitoring, distribution management, air-polution management and so many.

Yes. U-world life seemed to be quite a exciting. Connected anytime and anyplace. Pefect U-life will be a kind of dream, that is to say, exaggerating way of talking.

Many people will be effective with U-life, however many will not happy with the U-world. One example, many business man is effective with blackberry but they are not happy with it always.

Every technique or service has its bright and dark side in everyday using. Whether any service or technology will give us effectiveness or depends on how we can prepare the negative factors in advance. So I think it needs to prevent privacy issues for safer and not cumbersome life from the introduction of new services.
To succeed in introducing new services, there should be pre-stage for getting common sense among all the stakeholders.
To do that, we need some community which consists of all kinds of related person/group. That community will discuss in detal what the future service will impact on society and surroundings or give some threatenings.
Say it again, we always prepare both the good and bad sides of new technology or service on our way of living.

The family network with the destroyer illumination or humidity of the household, chisel possibility from outside to light the back which dawns with the hand phone, or, be. Also the electric meter inspection, the gas amount used and the tap water amount used from outside will be able to inspect with remoteness. And the foodstuffs which is insufficient will be the possibility the refrigerator ordering.
