This paper describes "the progressive merging of invisible tools, working in the background (Ubiquitous Computing), integrated into every domain of life and connected to the Internet (Internet of Things), with independently thinking and acting actors (Artificial Intelligence), implemented both into environments (Ambient Intelligence), and into everyday objects (Smart Objects)." In so doing, it extracts "our dimensions of modern technologies: Connectivity, Invisibility, Awareness, and Agency." Interesting read.
