You should come to Doors of Perception 7 on flow: the design challenge of pervasive computing - if these questions are 
important to you: 
- To what question, if any, is pervasive computing an answer?
- What are the implications of a world filled with sensors and actuators? 
- What will it mean it to be 'always on' in a real-time economy? 
- How shall we design ways to perceive, experience, and understand flows? 
- What does the world as spreadsheet look like? 
- How do you design a global company's "dashboard"?
- What does the move from designing things, to designing systems, mean?
- When computers disappear, what then will we design? 
- Are games, simulations, and play appropriate modes of designing flows?
