Headline: Ubiquitous network will change every aspect of our lives
Nutshell: With wimax and wearable computing, a digital companion will have global information wherever we go.
Vision:Already the web has changed the way we go about so many things, but the changes with a ubiquitous web will be much larger. Large groups will routinely self-organize meetings, traffic, entertainment, information exchange. Geographic differences will have reduced relevance, governance will be transformed.
