(1) The document discusses emerging technologies including pervasive computing, wearable computing, intelligent agents, and the semantic web. It summarizes research being done at UMBC on intelligent, pervasive computing. (2) The research aims to embed computing into everyday life so that it is as natural as using ordinary objects. Challenges include developing standards and social technologies. (3) The document concludes by noting that the evolution of useful technologies takes incremental steps over time, enabled by the semantic web and wireless communication.

- 24. The Evolution of Useful Things The Evolution of Useful Things, Henry Petroski, 1994. Before 1900, papers were held together with straight pens! The development of “spring steel” allowed the invention of the paper clip in 1899. It took about 25 years (!) for the evolution of the standard “gem paperclip” considered to be optimal for general use. Things take time, but the incremental results pay the way.

Locate the mildly sloping path and, if you have unlimited time, the ascent is only as formidable as the next step.” -- Richard Dawkins, Climbing Mount Improbable, Penguin Books, 1996.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Mount Improbable rears up from the plain, lofting its peaks dizzily to the rarefied sky. The towering, vertical cliffs of Mount Improbable can never, it seems, be climbed Dwarfed like insects, thwarted mountaineers crawl and scrabble along the foot, gazing hopelessly at the sheer, unattainable heights. They shake their tiny, baffled heads and declare the brooding summit forever unscalable. Our mountaineers are too ambitious. So intent are they on the perpendicular drama of the cliffs, they do not think to look round the other side of the mountain. There they would find not vertical cliffs and echoing canyons but gently inclined grassy meadows, graded steadily and easily towards the distant uplands. Occasionally the gradual ascent is punctuated by a small, rocky crag, but you can usually find a detour that is not too steep for a fit hill-walker in stout shoes and with time to spare. The sheer height of the peak doesn't matter, so long as you don't try to scale it in a single bound. Locate the mildly sloping path and, if you have unlimited time, the ascent is only as formidable as the next step.
