Review of Sonjacky and The Boys wiki project

The Wiki project by Cosmin, Mart, Marin and Sonja made an in depth research about Ubiquitous computing. The project was divided into 6 parts consist of definition, history, references in articles and videos, future visions and the the global awareness of ubiquitous computing. 

Maybe they should have used illustrative picture about how the wireless computer devices amount will rise and where these devices would be used. I got the real point of one users and many computers relationship from ubiq.com. 
If was extremely clever and illustrative that they had collected so many good media files. It builded the big picture together from fragments and made a clear idea of the topic.

I like that they have used a lof of bulletin system to point out for example the future challenges of ubicomp. It clearly points out what kind of challenges there can become, how do they see usage of the ubicomp and what kind of possible problems like privacy my arise.

But what concerned me a bit was that the sub-topic "article" links where from past century. There should have been used links and references from closest period possible. Also they should have refered to the source more clearly inside the articles and give straight links for definitions e.g ubicomp. But good that they have used a variety of different recourses with articles, media videos and present innovation prospects in this researched area of Czech, Estonia and Finland. As it can be seen the Finns have got many research centers and are one of the top countries to make improvements on this area.
