Real time adaptivity from Cybernetics to Intelligent Environments: rewriting the history of Ubiquitous Computing

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference paper

Abstract

The historical framework in which a technology is placed can affect the direction of legal, societal and philosophical thought about it. It is explored in which way "Ambient Intelligent" or "Intelligent Environments"-technologies are similar or different from the technologies which arose during the mechanical and the cybernetic revolution. The findings are applied to a possible new understanding of privacy: the protection of a "time of one's own" instead of "a private space of one's own".
