Directions in Connected Computing for the Consumer

PLACE: 134 Sieg Hall
HOST: Chris Diorio
ABSTRACT:
A variety of forces are converging that will significantly impact
computing as seen by consumers. First, the advent of inexpensive PCs
coupled with the natural development of a replacement market is increasing
the number of homes with more than one PC. Second, broadband Internet
connections are beginning to appear in volume for residential use. Third,
networking technologies optimized for use by the consumer are emerging.
Finally, computing capabilities and the Internet are penetrating many
existing consumer devices as well as creating opportunities for new ones.
This talk surveys what is happening in home networks and the forces that
are encouraging their deployments. It then looks at some of the
opportunities presented by these networks for new form factors for
computing. Finally, it looks at some of the usage model changes that home
networks, broadband Internet connections, and new or evolved computing
devices may cause.
Refreshments to follow.
