Ubiquitous
Ubiquitous refers to the property of being present, appearing, or found everywhere. The term is often used in the fields of biology, computer science, and information technology to describe phenomena, systems, or entities that are constantly and universally present.
Biology[edit | edit source]
In biology, the term ubiquitous is used to describe organisms that are found everywhere on earth. These organisms are also known as cosmopolitan or pantropical species. Examples of ubiquitous organisms include certain types of bacteria, fungi, and insects.
Computer Science[edit | edit source]
In computer science, ubiquitous computing (also known as pervasive computing) is a concept where computing is made to appear anytime and everywhere. In contrast to desktop computing, ubiquitous computing can occur using any device, in any location, and in any format. A user interacts with the computer, which can exist in many different forms - laptop, tablets, terminals, phones, etc.
Information Technology[edit | edit source]
In information technology, the term ubiquitous is used to describe a type of computing that is integrated into everyday objects and activities. This concept, known as ubiquitous computing, involves embedding microprocessors in everyday objects, allowing them to communicate information. It is considered one of the core concepts in the Internet of Things.
