Digital Smarts Everywhere: The Emergence of Ambient Intelligence

The Troggs were a legendary rock and roll band who were part of the British Invasion in the late 1960's. They have always been best known for their iconic rocker Wild Thing. This was also the only Top 10 hit that ever had an ocarina solo. The band went on to have two other major hits, With a Girl Like You and Love is All Around.¹ The third of the band's classic singles can be stretched a bit to be used as a helpful metaphor to describe an emerging form pervasive "all around"-edness, this time in a more technological context.
