Our computers are getting smaller, and our telephones are getting more powerful. How long until they merge into the same device? Well it has already happened, actually.
If you told someone in a previous generation that they would be carrying a computer around in their pocket – a computer with more computing power than even the most cutting edge computers of the time – then they would most likely laugh. The progression from building-sizes mobile computers to ultra mobile technology like iphone has been a rapid one. The MobiCom revolution is upon us.The amount of advertising power that iPhone brings to the industry is mind boggling.
As impressive as the reduction in size and increase in power is, it is not altogether surprising when one considers the driving factors in play. Scientists want to get the most power out of a computer, while pragmatists and marketers want to see sexy, slim and aesthetically pleasing gadgets that well be easy to sell. MobiCom is the childhood sweethearts that everyone who knew about them guessed would be married.
