&gt; Computers are getting invisible. They shrink and hide. They lurk under the skin and dissolve in the cloud. We observe the process like an eclipse of the sun, partly scared, partly overwhelmed. We divide into camps and fight about advantages and dangers of The Ubiquitous. But whatever side we take — we do acknowledge the significance of the moment.<p>They shrink, but they do anything but hide. Computers are freaking taking over our lives. Everywhere you look there&#x27;s a goddamn screen to gobble up your attention. Hell, even gas station pumps have screens on them screaming ads at you! Here&#x27;s some places that have computers and screens now:<p>- Ordering food (<i>in the damn restaurant</i>)<p>- Car HUD (<i>hello, ROAD</i>)<p>- Airplane seats<p>- Security systems<p>- Phones<p>- Toothbrushes<p>- Refrigerators<p>- Microwaves<p>- Coffee machines<p>- Guitar tuners<p>I mean, come on! Everything you look at, or especially interact with, has now got a damn screen on it. Like buttons and knobs and levers don&#x27;t work anymore. It&#x27;s gotta be touchscreen. Fudge!
