Techdirt writes in "Missing The Point On Camera Phones":

Sometimes you want to sit down folks and have them read (once again) Clayton Christensen's research on how disruptive technologies work. What's amazing is that, despite the popularity of his work, those who are facing the challenge of a disruptive technology never seem to notice it until it's too late.

Right he is, but the phones are getting quickly better and better. I never thought last year that I would enjoy the picture quality of a GX 20 only a year later.

Centre for Mobilities Research Conference:

How are new technologies of information and mobile communication replacing, converging with, or in other ways re-shaping ‘older technologies’ and patterns of corporeal travel? How are new technologies of surveillance and information retrieval affecting the constitution of borders, belonging, and ‘out of place’ bodies? What kinds of new ‘risk society’, what new ‘disasters’, are these mobilities generating? In what ways does life ‘on screen’ replace, redirect, or re-scale life ‘on the move’? Do ‘cybercities’ and ‘intelligent’ transport systems offer a new connectivity that can solve the impasse of transportation failure and social exclusion? How are the new possibilities for mobile communication changing the boundaries between the private and the public, with what impact on forms of citizenship, participation and democracy? How do the contemporary materialities of the ‘mobile life’ either reproduce or challenge existing forms of difference and inequality?
