The manifolds of spaces and places we are entering, populating, transiently crossing and eventually leaving (only to immerse
in another subsequent context) as part of our daily activities in our personal, public and professional lives are undergoing
a dramatic change. Although this change is taking place we are aware of it only in a limited fashion due to its unobtrusive
character as illustrated in the statement by Streitz and Nixon (2005): “It seems like a paradox but it will soon become reality: The rate at which computers disappear will be matched by the rate
at which information technology will increasingly permeate our environment and our lives”.
