The Machine Is Aware of Us

This makes me shudder in a good way...like the chills I get sometimes when I pee:

Ambient Intelligence is a key component for future beyond 3G mobile and wireless communication systems. However, the enabling technology that provides systems with information to allow for Ambient Intelligence has been neglected and currently consists of many independent modes of input, mainly relying on active user interactions or specialised sensor systems gathering information. e-SENSE proposes a context capturing framework that enables the convergence of many input modalities, mainly focusing on energy efficient wireless sensor networks that are multi-sensory in their composition, heterogeneous in their networking, either mobile or integrated in the environment e.g. from single sensors to thousands or millions of sensors collecting information about the environment, a person or an object. This framework will be able to supply ambient intelligent systems with information in a transparent way hiding underlying technologies thus enabling simple integration.

e-SENSE VISION – e-SENSE enables capturing of Ambient Intelligence for Beyond 3G Mobile Communication Systems through Wireless Sensor Networks.

How'd I get there? From this blog: Capturing ambient intelligence. I don't think the blog's writer really added anything to the general discussion, nor did he achieve his stated goal of explaining How tech trends affect our lives. He just conveyed a vague sense of paranoia.

How'd I get there? By way of Capturing ambient intelligence which also doesn't seem to add anything to the general discussion. It's just another headsup. I got to that article by way of Smart Mobs. Makes sense.

Will the technological environment we're creating come to resemble the spiritual environment our ancestors created? A world where everything is aware of us? Where the Eye of God is upon us at all times...
