Editing Ubiquitous computing (section)

== Core concepts ==
Ubiquitous computing is the concept of using small internet connected and inexpensive computers to help with everyday functions in an automated fashion.<ref>{{Cite journal |first=Byeong-Ho |last=Kang|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/242615603|title=Ubiquitous Computing Environment Threats and Defensive Measures|journal=International Journal of Multimedia and Ubiquitous Engineering |volume=2 |issue=1 |pages=47–60 |date=January 2007|language=en|access-date=2019-03-22}}</ref>

[[Mark Weiser]] proposed three basic forms for [[smart device|ubiquitous computing devices]]:<ref name="Weiser91" />
*''Tabs'': a wearable device that is approximately a [[centimeter]] in size
*''Pads'': a hand-held device that is approximately a [[decimeter]] in size
*''Boards'': an interactive larger display device that is approximately a [[meter]] in size
Ubiquitous computing devices proposed by Mark Weiser are all based around flat devices of different sizes with a visual display.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.karlstechnology.com/blog/some-computer-science-issues-in-ubiquitous-computing/ |title= Some Computer Science Issues in Ubiquitous Computing |publisher= CACM |last= Weiser |first= Mark |date= March 23, 1993 |access-date= May 28, 2019 |archive-date= May 28, 2019 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190528015405/https://www.karlstechnology.com/blog/some-computer-science-issues-in-ubiquitous-computing/ |url-status= live }}</ref> Expanding beyond those concepts there is a large array of other ubiquitous computing devices that could exist.<ref name="Poslad" />
