Wherever you stand, the devices you carry will reach out to create your workspace. So if you have a cell phone and are standing near a printer, you can receive a fax. You can give a presentation from your palmtop computer while standing near a display device. One challenge in this idea is making the environment easy to use. For instance, you probably do not want your telephone to alert you every time it merely detects a printer, unless it has received an incoming fax.
Some people think that the natural place for embedded wireless is everyday life.
Your car already has a number of embedded processors in it. Perhaps the odometer and the oil filter could talk to each other, conclude it was time for an oil change, and use the car's cell phone to make an appointment at the local service station. If smart highways ever take off, the car could drive itself to and from the service station. Other scenarios are possible. A few researchers are working on a vision of the Internet without wires or fiber.
