Sabah is moving towards creating a ubiquitous computing state
by the year 2025, said State Minister of Resource Development and
Information Technology Datuk Siringan Gubat.
Ubiquitous computing
(ubicomp) is a post-desktop model of human-computer interaction in which
information processing has been thoroughly integrated into everyday
objects and activities.
“We hope to reach a stage where services
(be they private, public or community based) can be available from
anywhere, at anytime and by anyhow,” he said.
Siringan said this
in his remarks at the certificate presentation and closing ceremony of
training on “Basic on Mobile Tablets with iOS and Android Platforms,”
here yesterday.
He said it was a daunting task but believed the
government could achieve it by working together in smart partnership
with non-governmental organisations (NGOs), especially the Sabah Women
Entrepreneurs and Professionals Association (SWEPA).
In this
respect, Siringan welcomed the initiative by SWEPA in collaborating with
the Sabah Computer Society to engage its members to embrace ICT to stay
relevant in today’s ever evolving technological landscape.
“Keeping
abreast with technologies and learning new things continuously is a
necessity, particularly for entrepreneurs and professionals, lest they
become obsolete very fast,” he said adding that the close cooperation
between the two NGOs should be emulated by other NGOs in the state.
