    Mark Weiser introduced the concept of ubiquitous computing in 1991, envisioning a future where computers are integrated into everyday objects and environments. The document provides examples of what has been achieved so far, such as coffee brewing informed by alarms, location-based services in cars, and sharing information between devices. It also acknowledges challenges like security, privacy, and cost that must still be addressed for a fully ubiquitous computing world.
