And there were many many phrases that were used by a variety of institutions that were active in that field in the 1990's and early 2000's, and there is pervasive intelligence and ambient intelligence and pervasive computing and ubiquitous computing, and network awareness, and all of these other very technical, very... you know the words kind of stuck in your mouth. They did not really convey very much of anything at all. And I thought that what if there were a term that the people who would be exposed to this technology, ordinary everyday people, could use to help them think about it. And I came up with this umbrella term 'everyware', everywhere as in software and hardware. And to be honest I am not sure how successful it was as a coinage, I am not sure that it ever really caught on or conveyed much of anything itself, so I regard that, at best, a partial success. Nevertheless I am still... I think the book was more successful than the term itself.
