Why Mobizoic?
After a long delay this blog is up! The blog will be focus on bringing you news and discussions from around the world of mobile & social technology. There will be a bit of other technology and society news as well. My focus will be evolution of the mobile, characteristics which ensure survival/success in the mobile, the effects of the entry of new mobile technology on the existing environments and the opportunities these changes present.
In general the idea behind the blog came to me as I sat in geology, classifying various layers of dirt which cover the earth, usually representing geologically distinct periods. Geologic periods are usually classified based on the time period, the chemical composition in the environment and the found fossils of the living things which were abundant at the time. And by dramatic events which caused the end of the previous period and the start of the next.
Taking all of this in I realized that we live in very early - Mobi (mobile device/animal) zoic (age period). Here is my classification of the early Mobizoic period. It is a tumulus time of change when the use of non-mobile / non-connected devices is decreasing; while the population in the mobile family exploding, evolving and creating new species types. Mobile Devices - are autonomously powered (several days of battery life) and connected to internet (where connection is available), thus they are present in the wild on every continent in every setting. Their electrical anatomy and chemical compositions are very well known, so that a geologists 20 million years from now finding a member of this family will know it was from this era. (example: iPhone)
Unfortunately unlike the geologists in the future - my looking glass is full fast moving particicles of dirt (iPhones, twitters, facebooks etc) which is yet to settle as the layer of this century. Lacking a birds eye view of a geologist - I will discuss things these things as they come to my attention, and try to point out where this dust will settle in the larger scheme of things.
