摘要：Information and communication technologies met a culminant evolution even since they appeared, with major achievements that became established in various fields of activity. Currently, one can notice an increased tendency to upgrade from classic computers to other types of equipment, much smaller in size, able to perform similar functions, such as PDA’s or mobile phones. Also, the expansion of wireless communication technologies allows the access to Internet and to users’ permanent interconnection. Therefore, a normal desire of human beings is developed, that of using miniaturized equipment, with no less performance, capable to ensure access to various information sources and to support communication. This tendency will result in the transition towards a new evolution stage of the IT&C, known as the calm technologies era. This study is intended to seize the main stages, characteristics and conditions that the technological evolution should pursuit and fulfil in order to ensure the success of calm technologies and, at the same time, to optimize users’ economic and social life.
