Doors of Perception 7
Flow: the design challenge of pervasive computing
14,15,16 November 2002 Amsterdam
http://flow.doorsofperception.com

What happens to society when there are hundreds of microchips for 
every man, woman and child on the planet - most of them (the chips) 
talking to each other? What are the implications of a world filled 
with sensors and actuators? What does 'the world as spread sheet' 
look like? What will it mean it to be 'always on' in a real-time 
economy?  Some of the world's most insightful designers, thinkers and 
entrepreneurs will address these questions at Doors of Perception 7 
in Amsterdam on 14, 15 and 16 November 2002.The theme of the 
celebrated international gathering is flow: the design challenge of 
pervasive computing.
