30/8  Mobile literacy

Category: Miscellaneous    By editor at 09:51
Stephanie wrote a Computer and Handset Literacy Checklist and it's well worth a reading and sometimes very funny:)

To the mobile literacy list I would add:
  • Being able to read through the marketing blabla.
  • Know some mobile blogs to find information and get advice when needed
  • Understanding that design is not everything and it's often coming with poor usability.
  • Being able to resist a 0. $ phone with a two-year subscription.
  • When buying making sure, you can give your phone back - (would the RAZR be still successfull then?)
  • How to access a site on the internet, when to stop a download and why
  • How to use your phone camera. Having an idea about Pixels, Macros and other functions.
  • Knowledge of some of the acronyms and unfortunately in mobile there is a plethora. GSM, GPRS, UMTS, EDGE, HSDPA and 2.5, 3G / GPS, A-GPS / SMS, MMS / ShortID
  • Basic knowledge about Barcodes: One- and Two-dimensional, EAN Barcode, QR Code, Datamatrix Code / ISO-Standards versus Proprietary Ones;)
