Ubiquitous computing is essentially the term for human interaction with computers in virtually everything we do. This is future phase beyond the desktop and notebook environment that we are currently in. Ubiquitous computing would involve objects interacting all around you providing feedback or adjusting based upon previously configured settings.
An example might be a home environment that adjusts as you enter a room. The lighting and temperature might adjust to your comfort level or a coffee maker may start to brew a cup of coffee just the way you like it in the morning. In a city environment in a heat wave the city electric grid may adjust power levels going into homes and businesses to avoid a power outage or to adjust power costs up to lower demand.

How come when you save a ms paint pic it messes it up?
Messing it up is very broad phrasing, but one thing that might be happening is blockiness/graininess and poor colors. This would be due to compression. When an image is saved as a jpeg, the image is compressed so that it will take up space, which can leave artifacts. If there is too much compression for you, try saving it as a bmp or PNG format.
