Three Kinds of Everywhere: the Multiple Genres of Ubiquitous Play and Performance Classifications: " Gaming on the Edge: Using Seams in Pervasive Games " (authors

In the case of ubiquitous computation... people are still trying to find the loose verbal grab-bag just to put the concepts into. So I would argue that this work is basically a literary endeavor. When it comes to remote technical eventualities, you don't want to freeze the language too early. Instead, you need some empirical evidence on the ground, some working prototypes, something commercial, governmental, academic or military. Otherwise you are trying to freeze an emergent technology into the shape of today's verbal descriptions. This prejudices people. It is bad attention economics. It limits their ability to find and understand the intrinsic advantages of the technology.... So language is of consequence. Those of us who make up words about these matters probably ought to do a better job. –Technologist Bruce Sterling, “The Internet of Things”
