Individually:
| Scott MacNeily at Sun talks about sending Java applets to lots of little computers. Is that "ubiquitous computing"? | |
|
| Is that 100,000 number (components in a device) a matter of experience or is that a theoretical concept behind it? | |
|
| Every time I get a 'prop', for instance a watch that tells me what date it is, that makes me stupider in that area, since now I don't have to know what date it is - I can just check my watch. Won't surrounding ourselves with hundreds of computers, helping us do things, make us a lot stupider? | |
|
| You're talking about interfaces, and seem to be talking about computer interfaces. I'm more interested in other kinds of interfaces, like if I close my door to my office, then somehow my phone gets forwarded to my secretary's phone. (Weiser: "That's a computer interface, isn't it?") Well, yeah, but without a display. Are you thinking about this kind of interface? | |
|
| Is the research in artificial intelligence of any use in this "ubiquitous computing" idea? | |
|
| Can you talk a little bit about the future of multi-computers? (Weiser: "Which kind - massively parallel, shared memory, distributed memory - any kind?") Any kind. | |
