“...ubiquitous computing will help overcome the problem of information overload. There is more information at our fingertips during a walk in the woods than in any computer system, yet people find a walk among trees relaxing and computers frustrating.
Machines that fit the human environment instead of forcing humans to enter theirs will make using a computer as refreshing as a walk in the woods.”
