To be a mobilist is to connect to the world through a handheld, wireless device. Today nearly 2 billion people on earth are already mobilists. The dominant mobile device is most frequently called "cell phone" in the United States and "mobile phone" elsewhere. By 2009, at least half of the people in the world will have one of these phones, say those who know such things.
A person who has a wireless laptop is also a mobilist and pagers are primitive mobilist devices. Instant messaging is a tool of the mobilists as is emailing in the Blackberry craze. Knowing about mobilists will connect you to your kids and to the new way of life emerging around us all.
Mobilists beam over the digital divide!
Wireless phones leapfrog into underdevoloped regions
The image in this lens of communications capture devices extending into the distance is from a mobile phone service in Kenya. Wireless phone access is rapidly spreading across our planet. The phones needed to connect to the signals are affordable - far more so than laptops and stationary computers.Hardly theoretical or planned, the closing of the digital divide is an awesome reality. It occurs as well in first world cities and rural areas where kids are stuck in failing schools. There is a digital divide at school, but in their pockets is the computer in a phone that beams them into the world information ecology. Mobilists are equal individuals in our newly connected world.
