It's interesting to read the articles in the new EDUCAUSE Review, especially in light of Ubiquity's interview with Leonard Kleinrock, the father of packet-switching. Kleinrock: "I should be able to talk to the environment. It could respond with voice, or perhaps displays pop up or holograms. Maybe there's a keyboard around. Maybe there's some kind of other input device, or output device. But I want it to be there when I get there and not have to import all of the technologyCRLFwith me." Now read Long and Erhmann: "imagine being able to embed, in specific physical locations, situational instructions that would tell students' devices how they should be configured and behave while in that local environment." You see - we talk to the environment, and the environment talks back. We need, as Johnson and Lomas describe, to think of designing a space, and not just classrooms.
