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	* Grid computing is the collection of computer resources from multiple locations to reach a common goal the grid can be thought of as a distributed system with non-interactive workloads involve a large number of files.^[2]
