      American computer scientist and visionary who developed the pioneering idea for what he referred to as “ubiquitous computing,” the use of tiny computers in “smart” devices—everyday items such as coffeepots and copy machines—and their connection via a network; he also was a drummer for Severe Tire Damage, the first band that broadcast live on the Internet (b. July 23, 1952, Chicago, Ill.—d. April 27, 1999, Palo Alto, Calif.).
