in this article from innovate online journal, by Donald Norris, Jon Mason, and Paul Lefrere discuss "Experiencing Knowledge"
..."Taken together, some of the most significant trends indicate the emergence of pervasive computing environments. By pervasive computing, we mean a combination of mobile information and communications technology (through laptops, notebooks, personal digital assistants, and fused-function devices) and ubiquitous computer technology (through the embedding of small, low-cost devices in clothing, appliances, cars, automobiles, work settings, and every other place). Pervasive, ambient computing environments are portrayed in Figure 1. These new technology-suffused settings will change the knowledge experience, disrupting many of our social, organizational, economic, and institutional structures. They will also stimulate new pathways to innovation."
