Where the Internet meets ubiquitous computing, the histories of navigation, communication, commerce, and information seeking converge. The O'Reilly book, Ambient Findability: What We Find Changes Who We Become, by Peter Morville, explores the impact of the "always on" culture.

With recent technological developments in the realm of mobile devices, we are becoming increasingly easy to find. The speed of information exchange across networks, an exchange that makes us perpetually findable, is changing how we interact on both a macro and micro scale. In the O'Reilly book, Ambient Findability: What We Find Changes Who We Become, by Peter Morville, the impact of the "always on" culture is explored. Morville suggests that as we map the emerging shoreline that connects the land of atoms and the sea of bits, findability serves as a useful lens for seeing where we've been and what lies ahead.
