3. • Do you remember the dream you had last night? Everyone dreams, but
not everyone remember it. You don't worry about it, the great Computing
will help you soon. By scanning brain activity, it is now possible to decode
what someone is watching. By 2050 it might be possible to actively
monitor or download our dreams that will create some wonder in future!
Every day, the news media is giving more and more visibility to the effects
of computing on our daily lives.
• Computing is already everywhere. It is not just important, it is crucial and
touches the root of civilization. 'Computing everywhere' also means
connected devices everywhere and it makes the world more special.
Computing technologies accelerate on everything, not only the traditional
desktop, portable, and laptop computers, but now also include wearable
devices like Google Glass, Agent Smartwatch etc. and consumer goods
like car, washing machine, etc.
4. • The history of computing can never be written in simple words because it’s the
story of human race as well. Computing is the story of confidence, ambition,
passion, invention and creativity against limits of our mind and body. In short it is
the journey from the Abacus to the iPad, from Gutenberg to Google, from Enigma
to GPS.
• Computing everywhere refers to Mobility and Multiple screens or Sensors. We
have now reached a mobile era that everyone around us have smart phones.
"Phones and wearable devices are now part of an expanded computing
environment. The mobile devices are just part of a world which reflects computing
is everywhere and it is embedded in everyday objects, from our car to appliances
and even on clothing. All these indicate that we’ll have new ways to interact with
the world. While promising to add great utility to people’s lives, most technologies
depend on direct communication between human and a known device or
application. In real scenario, even at home or outside, people will also need help
from services which are unknown to them. Let's see some smart inventions from
smart computing.
Journey with Computing
5. According to a Boston Consulting Group report, the number of Internet-
connected devices is predicted to exceed 15 billion—twice the world's
population – by this year, and will exceed to 50 billion devices by 2020.
Here ‘devices’ refers not only to smart phones, netbooks and tablets but
also systems such as smart grids, intelligent transportation, healthcare
monitoring, smart manufacturing, and environmental sensors etc.
It is impossible to predict what will be the next move on computing, anyways
let us expect another great miracle as usual. We all co-evolved with
computing in every aspect. Can you imagine going back to the world without
computing? Life would be unthinkable without a smartphone, a tablet, or a
laptop, because bits are the very oxygen that we breathe now and we born in
this digital world. So computing is the part of our lives; it is the oxygen we
breathe, it colors our days and it’s our digital companion.

continue our journey with this Digital Companion.”
