17. Age of Context
How will contextual technology influence the way we live and
work in the future?
• Five shaping forces: Mobile, Social Media, Data, Sensors (the Internet of
Things), Location Based Services
• Application: everywhere – from healthcare to home automation to safety
• Important step on the road to true Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• E.g. fridge magnets that can order your favourite pizza, software that
disables the gas on stolen vehicles and radiation detectors in Japan
