mob desc: I don't find it surprising that toclnehogy, originally meant for military use, is now being used by everyday people to keep in touch. People are closest in time of distress or against a common enemy or threat (nuclear war), as most of the time they cannot support themselves and have to rely on others for help. It is more beneficial for them to cooperate instead of acting on their own accord. To achieve this cooperation, the communication between them people must be quickly and easily accomplished. The same is true in less life-threatening situations. Drivers flash their headlights at oncoming traffic to notify others of a hiding cop, armed with radar, the communication toclnehogy used should provide the means for notifying people of approaching danger in a fast, easy and preferably relatively stealth way. Although the headlight blinking can suffice for this example, in other cases, such as Rheingold's example of free riders notifying each other where train conductors are so they can avoid paying the fair, other means of communication must be used since the free rider and the person keeping the lookout are not in the same location. Calling the person may arouse suspicion as others may overhear the conversation and won't be too happy about having to pay the fair while others get away with riding for free. That's where text messaging comes in. I don't quite get people sending random good morning and how are you text messages to each other to keep in touch. Maybe because I have a very small circle of friends with whom I communicate primarily on the actual PC rather than a cell phone, but even when I don't have access to a computer it's just not part of my routine. Now, sending my friends tips about traffic conditions, hiding cops, or special events is different. A few months ago, TechCrunch covered a service that notifies you of nearby cops using GPS on your phone and lets you report cop sightings to help other drivers using the service. Obviously this is not something that would save lives as in the case of the military coming up with a new communication concept in case of nuclear war, but it operates on the same principle of people networking together toward a common good keeping each other out of danger, no matter the threat level. Communication toclnehogy behaves in the same way and must fulfill the same set of requirements, whether it is for military use or for use between a few friends or relatives. The only difference is that in case of civilian use, the danger level is significantly lower (in most cases).
