Mobility and the Internet

Mobility, as defined is the ability to move anywhere easily as desired.
It plays an important role and it shows great impact when it is used interconnected with the internet.
There is no doubt that the Internet revolution is making the world an information environment. However, the role of mobility is also playing an important role in this process.

Mobility in technology is often associated with the gadgets for example smartphone. 
As long as a smartphone has an Internet connection, people can do work anytime at anywhere. 
Compared to a desktop which is fixed at a specific location, people will tend to go for gadgets such as smartphones and laptops because it is really convenient and time-saving.

Mobility is the future. Soon, the Internet will be too common and it will become an essential in human's life. When the essential incorporates mobility, it will evolve to become something new.

We always have that kind of demand to stay connected anytime and anywhere. We often link this sense of connectedness with the Internet. We used to say that if we have the Internet, we can be connected to the world anytime anywhere. But I think, there is a lack of acknowledgment towards mobility in this statement.

I have found an article depicting about the mobility and how the world is giving a new meaning to mobility and the role it is playing in this era of technology.

However, The New Meaning of Mobility said that
" We find ourselves tethered in novel ways — not to a hometown, or to a particular social background, but to our devices themselves and the feeling of connection they provide, which we seemingly cannot sit still without. "
Mobility is an element which contributes a lot to the advancement of technology and enables people to stay connected to the world. Ironically, it also one of the elements which isolate us from the world.

Mobility in tech is a good tools for us as we can work, learn and socialize regardless of the venue and time. But, still, according to the situation we are in, we should know which we should prioritize in that circumstances. Don't let the advancement of the technologies become one of the disaster in term of our relationship among families, friends and others related to us.

    People appreciate convenience and speed. As long as it is fast, convenient, easy to access, people do not care about will it be harmful to them.
    Undoubtedly, mobility did bring a lot of benefits to us. But, has it taken our ways of living? Without mobility, who are we? Instead of being controlled by it, we should take control on our own.

  3. It is a quite new knowledge for me to learn that actually mobility can be related to the virtual world through technology. I specially like the last paragraph of the article, which ironically conclude that the Internet connects us to the people around the world while at the same time it isolates us from our real world. I totally agree with that. Thanks for sharing.

    Hmmm...yes, mobility and internet bring a lot of conveniency to our life. We almost lead and controlled by them in our daily life.
    As a wise user, we have to be very discipline by not being controlled. There are still many beautiful scenery in the real world. Virtual world is only for that moment, but real world can last forever.

    1. Hi, Jia Wen. I love the last sentences you said which is "There are still many beautiful scenery in the real world. Virtual world is only for that moment, but real world can last forever." Yup, I strongly agree with you. Although gadgets and internet can make us connected people all around the world but one day we might regret. Since we spent to much time in virtual world then we ignore our dearest parents and friends.
