Case Study: The Condition of Ubiquitous Computing Application in Indonesia

Abstract

Generally, people, especially in developing countries, does not realize that they are in third of computer revolution era. They are in the era of ubiquitous computing, which mean that they can interact with the computer everywhere and anytime, not just sitting in front of the PC (one person many computers). Furthermore, the social and political challenges of the ubiquitous computing era will be characterized by an increasing dependence on technology, control over the information to which everyday objects are linked, and the protection of privacy. In this paper, we present the study about the condition of ubiquitous computing application in Indonesia. We divide the application of ubiquitous computing in Indonesia into three parts, i.e. ubiquitous mobile application, ubiquitous web application, and ubiquitous payment system application. Hopefully this paper could become the knowledge about the ubiquitous computing application in Indonesia.
