3. “The most profound technologies
are those that disappear.
They weave themselves into the
fabric of everyday life until
they are indistinguishable from it.”

Digital Technologies for a Better World

5. Ubiquitous computing just might
help to free our minds from
unnecessary work, and connect
us to the fundamental challenge
that humans have always had:
to understand the patterns in the
universe and ourselves within
them.
