In the twenty-first century the technology revolution will move into the everyday, the small and the invisible. The impact of technology will increase ten-fold as it is imbedded in the fabric of everyday life.

This imbedding, this invisibility, this radical ease-of-use requires radical innovations in our connectivity infrastructure. This article describes the interplay and dependencies between invisibly calming technology and the new pervasive connectivity infrastructure.
