The combination of wireless technologies and ever-smaller and more powerful computers has led to the rise of so-called pervasive computing. Pervasive computing describes a world where computers are everywhere and embedded in most everyday objects. In many ways, we are living through the dawn of this vision. It can be a fun exercise to think about just how many everyday devices already have computing capability—​or will soon. Our buildings, vehicles, and even the external environment have begun to be filled with computers, and this trend is bound to continue.
