The lifelong contextual footprint
• The footprint – the digital traces we create explicitly and implicitly as we go about our everyday lives at home, at work and at leisure.
• The contextual – these digital traces enable personal technologies to infer our activities and provide appropriate services.
• The lifelong – an inclusive digital society must consider how these digital footprints are handled throughout our lives, literally from cradle to grave.
