Abstract
As the emerging technologies enable the embedded ubiquitous intelligence with sensors and controllers, the empowered environment encounters multiple social contexts. The collision to the legacy social contexts leads to the technosocial situations that are the social situations created by the technologies. The author discusses the lessons in the literature and discusses the issues in the social and cognitive model of the ubiquitous computing empowered society. Then, the author proposes the new type of human skill called ubiquitous computing literacy to cope with the intelligence embedded environment. Finally, the author discusses the staged model to implement such large-scale new social knowledge in order to use the ubiquitous computing in a socially friendly manner.
