Prismatic The Future Of Technology Isn't Mobile, It's Contextual You’re walking home alone on a quiet street. You hear footsteps approaching quickly from behind. It’s nighttime. It’s called situational awareness. Here’s the rub: Our senses aren’t attuned to modern life. Contextual Computing: Our Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth senses In the coming years, there will be a shift toward what is now known as contextual computing, defined in large part by Georgia Tech researchers Anind Dey and Gregory Abowd about a decade ago. Hints of this shift are already arriving. These merely scratch the surface. For that to happen, computer scientists, technology companies, and users all need to understand and buy into the requirements and possibilities of contextual computing. You Need Four Data Graphs to Make It Work At Jump, we’ve identified four data graphs essential to the rise of contextual computing: social, interest, behavior, and personal. There are legitimate ethical concerns about each of these graphs. The Social Graph Is About Connections

Interest graph Suppose two people have similar interests, such as photo and they like the same music. So there is a relationship between them based on their interests which can be shown by interest graph. Vertices correspond to entities, and edges are the relationships between entities. Red edges are the part of an interest graph, where relations (red edges) could be between (1) user and interest and (2) between users. Blue edges are the part of a social graph, where there are relations only between users. An interest graph is an online representation of the specific things in which an individual is interested.[1] Interest graphs have perceived utility and value because of the premise that people’s interests are a major aspect of who they are, forming part of their personal identity, and can be used as indicators of such things as what they might want to do or buy, where they might want to go, or who they might want to meet, follow or vote for.[2] Relationship of interest graph to social graph[edit]
