All Of A Sudden, We Are Connected

23rdMar. × ’09

As I step on the subway, I take note of society around me. I love the subway. It’s one of the best places to explore one’s curiosities about society and the world. However, today I notice one thing.

Everyone is connected.

Through mobile.

Let’s take a step back. Let’s look at mobile from the big picture standpoint. Mobile is what connects us. It is what breaks barriers of distance and time. It allows humans to communicate notwithstanding the normal constraints of communication. We can call, text, or MMS anyone we know in the world.

Everyone around me there are mobiles. iPhones, Blackberries, Nokias, Motorolas. All of them connected in an international network that connects all people to each other.

What is so amazing about mobile is that it is the first technology to connect people wherever they are. As opposed to before.

It’s a completely revolutionary technology. Mobile. 3 billion subscribers. And we’re just getting started.

    Mark Pesce talks about this a lot - says we’re all “hyperconnected”. Me, I’m not sure what he’s talking about. I don’t quite really remember a time without cellphones, Google, or wikipedia…

    Makes me wonder what *our* kids will do that’ll blow *our* minds…
