How Americans use their cell phones
Heard of first on Intro to Digital Age
Also worth a look, even if not directly related. Although as the internet goes mobile more and more, this will accelerate this change even more:
The New Media Ecology and how it will Affect Work and Learning

Heard of first on Intro to Digital Age
A recent PEW research study on technology and media use in the U.S. described cell phones as “the communications swiss army knife;).” [...] With the younger demographic growing up using mobile phones and all their capabilities, it appears use will to continue to grow and expand. I recently read an article stating cell phones have had the most impact on the world in the last 25 years than any other technology.

There's a new way brewing to use your mobile, called Itsme. A short expo:
Everybody carries around more or less the same stuff. In their wallet: credit, debit, etc. cards, some money, loyalty cards, drivers license, workplace or school id, ... In their pockets/purse: small change, house keys, car opener, car keys, tickets to an event, ... In their car: garage door opener, registration, proof of insurance, smog compliance, ... When traveling you carry more: passport, plane, rental car, and hotel reservations, transit pass, maps, Some people wear a bracelet warning that they have a special medical condition.
The basic Itsme idea is that your mobile can replace all these things, by connecting to appropriate location-based databases and identifying you to them. So, your mobile becomes the only thing you carry around with you, and it does everything for you. This is: the Internet of Things, ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing, , its beginning to get names.
Ive made up one too: Itsme, to signify Its me. Im here, and I want appropriate services from the smart-things around me. Ive described Itsme at my website: david-k-rose.com . Take a look, and let me know what you think.

Dear David,
Thanks for your comment. Actually, we are right now going into this direction.
I cannot disclose everything here right now, but it certainly would be interesting to discuss possible ways of collaboration further.
