The world-wide-web is distributed.

Area	Characteristics
mobile computing	broad general term describing your ability to use technology to wirelessly connect to and use centrally located information and/or application software
ubiquitous computing	The condition in which computing is so woven into the fabric of everyday life that it becomes indistinguishable from it.
peer-2-peer network	A decentralized computer network design in which all of the computers on the network are equals or peers.
grid computing	An approach to high performance computing that uses the spare processing capacity of computers connected to a network. Each computer is given a small portion of the task to process in its spare time.

Define the terms: mobile computing, ubiquitous computing, peer-2-peer network, grid computing.
Compare the major features of: mobile computing ubiquitous computing peer-2-peer network grid computing.
