  • Abstract
    In the pursuit of optimal intercommunications systems, personal computers have lost their dominance. What we had was two IT (information technology) industries: the physical manufacturing industry produced the hardware, and the intellectual industry that produced the software. The current to change from the computation-function principle to the communications-function principle enables communication to efficiently use various transmission methods other than email and create new industries. This concept is called PUC (pervasive ubiquitous communications). "Pervasive" means the user does not feel he or she is using a tool. "Ubiquitous" means a communication tool that can be found and used anywhere. The PUC technological revolution means taking a step toward freeing humans from the constraints of the machine known as the computer. In the process of transitioning from PC\´s (personal computers) to PUCs, the separation between hardware and software, the original breakthrough concepts that led to personal computers, must also change. In the PUC concept, the optimization of software functions depends on hardware design, and the opposite is true as well. In other words, PUC means the integration, the fusion of hardware and software.
