mob desc: I apologize if this is pstoed a second time, but I didn't know if I needed to be logged into wordpress to post. I will say that I have to agree with Rheingold and his research, because if it’s one thing that I’ve learned over the years, and I am guilty of this myself, is that we are a society that is definitely very connected through our mobile devices. Thanks the invention of the computer and the internet, people have been able to connect themselves to the world in ways never thought possible, and that has only evolved with the development of mobile devices like cell phones and PDA’s. What amazes me and even scares me to an extant is how early some countries have had this technology. For the past year I have been taking the mobile lab classes here at the university and have been there to hear about some of the new ideas that we are trying to develop. Now where I knew that other countries like the UK and Japan already had better devices, it was their technology that I was unaware of. I’m hear reading about other nations having already developed the new ideas, not months before us, but years. Smart Mobs tells us about how teens and young adults in both Japan and Finland use their mobile devices to connect and locate their friends through games using GPS-like methods. It tells us about how President Joseph Estrada of the Philippines lost power through the use of text messaging. It tells us even more, but what really grabbed was how early all of this was happening. All of this was done in 2001. If all of these countries were utilizing that kind of technology in ’01, what was America doing?When you have countries that are alreadyconnecting their people through mobile means that early, you have to wonder where they are now, and just how far they are ahead of us here in the US. I will be the first to admit that like many others, I am as connected to my cell as they are, but am I anywhere near as connected as people in other countries. I just can’t help but wonder what the future holds for us here in the U.S. when we are consistently that behind in technology.
