Sažetak
Embedded systems are widely implemented in every aspect of contemporary societies. The scale of usage of embedded systems in everyday lives is so high that people have become so accustomed to the conveniences they provide that they become unaware of their existence. Nevertheless, business processes and procedures, interaction with government institutions and public administration as well as social contacts have dramatically changed due to the implementation of embedded systems. The goal of the paper is to present changes in contemporary societies that are influenced by the intense use of embedded systems. Current trends in mobile computing and RFID technologies are two main driving forces of embedded systems that will be considered in this paper, as well as the development of web semantics and intelligent agents that characterize the era of Web 2.0 and upcoming era of Web 3.0. The paper will try to analyze and discuss possible interactions and amalgamation of these embedded systems as well as possibilities they may bring in the digital or e-societies in future decades. A survey will be presented in order to determine user perception of these technologies and estimate potential users interest in the adoption of future services that will become available in the next decade.
