FEATURE"At the End of the World, Plant a Tree"

Abstract

Editors' Note: Adam Greenfield is Nokia's head of design direction for service and user-interface design, as well as the author of everyware: the Dawning Age of ubiquitous Computing and the upcoming the City Is Here for You to use. He is also a compelling speaker and articulate blogger, and has become an authority in thinking about the impact of future ubiquitous technologies on people and society. In a lengthy interview with Tish Shute recently published on UgoTrade.com, Greenfield covered numerous topicsincluding augmented reality, Usman Haque's Pachube project, the networked book, the networked city, and what to do at the end of the world. The interview is dense and rich, with many of the questions raised relevant to our audience. We asked Greenfield to expand on some of his answers for interactions.
