defining contextual awareness
@media(sensor){adjustment}

contextually aware web
- user

What can we tell about a user? Don’t confuse a user with a device.
Example users:
- physically impaired
- specific objectives
- limited/meaningful scope
Example tasks:
- repeated interactions
- implied relationship
Example Technology
- mobile/tablet/pc
- hardware limitations
- input types
