Ubiquitous Computing

In the evolution of computing, in next 10 years Ubiquitous/Pervasive computing is going to rule the world. Ubiquitous computing is all about a ultra intelligent personal agent. A agent which uses the computer power to help in maximising the users productivity.

The market is pushing lot of smart devices day on day and as consumers we are knowingly or unknowingly moving toward next evolution in computing. Below are some of the Ubiquitous computing platform which is getting evolved to next level,

• Garmin IQ, Android wear
• Smart TV: Apple TV, Android TV
• Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire
• Virtual reality: Microsoft Hololens, Google Glass
• Augmented reality: Tango
• Google’s Machine learning API

Assume someone who takes care of your health and manages all your personnel activities. Lets say you have booked a flight ticket to travel to a place in the morning. Due to some issues if the flight gets cancelled in might night, think about a personal agent who can automatically detect the flight cancellation and book a best alternate flight for you. What if it also detects the weather in arriving place based on your landing time and alerts you to pack a jerkin, hand gloves etc., Just think about it, all these are happening while you are in the sleep and how powerful if the computing becomes ubiquitous. The beauty is we have already crossed half a distance in achieving ubiquitous computing.
