I was so excited to see that Susan related the reading to Skype. That is the first thing I though about as well, because I use it everyday to talk to my best friend in Italy. I find myself so intrigued by this process becasue it is like I am having a conversation face to face even though she is thousands of miles away. Skpe encompases everything I need to communicate with her, so I don't have to worry about using a phone, email, or any other form of communication....it is all available through Skpe.
Also in the reading, I was interested in how with ubiquitous computing we do not have to change points of views, because the computer adjusts to fit our needs. This is sooooo TRUE! It is funny to think about because when searching for things or trying to operate new things on the computer, I can literally put in what I am thinking about and the computer seems to "know/understand" what I am referring to. In this book it describes this as the computer wanting to "affect what it monitors (p.219)."
Overall this was an extensive reading, but it really allowed me to connect what I do everyday digitally to what we have been talking about with Remediation.
