ubiquitous
Found all around
While ubiquitous means found everywhere, in usage typically isn’t literal.
Instead, ubiquitous is used to describe people, objects, or ideas whose presence or use is widespread: She is gaining a ubiquitous presence as a media spokesperson against fracking.
Ubiquitous overlaps somewhat in meaning with omnipresent.
