Ubiquitous pervasive computing, networked products, embedded devices and their connections to interactive electronic communications, websites and networked software applications captured my interest this year. This emerging direction promises to further blur the distinction between product, communication and service. It is becoming difficult to decide whether an electronic networked experience is a website, a software application or a product interface. Today we still sit down at our computer for our interactive connective experiences, although increasingly we use our Palm Pilots. Soon it will be our refrigerator, bathtub, car or nightstand that connect us to the Internet.
