Ubiquitous versus Pervasive Computing

Visualizing the usage of these two terms with the new Google Trends tool:

I don’t know to what extent the tool is reliable but the search volume is decreasing over time and there are some variations where ubiquitous is more searched than pervasive and vice versa.

Why do I blog this? just wanted to try Google Trends comparing two keywords which I am familiar with.

    Ha. I did the same search, and was impressed that frequency is declining. The best thing I heard about CHI this year is that a prominent ubicomp researcher thinks that the future is not in pervasive computing…
