This document discusses the ubiquity of technology and its impact on user experiences. It notes that devices are increasingly connected, services span multiple devices, and experiences are becoming ubiquitous. However, it also quotes concerns that technology may encourage shallow thinking and prevent focusing on real human connections. The conclusion debates whether the future will be one of "ux-biquity" where technology is invisible but everywhere, or a return to prioritizing relationships with real people over technology.
