13. mobile disconnect
“Practically everyone has a mobile phone,
but after 15 years the only killer apps are
interactions between people: voice, text and
ringtones (just as communicative as a phone
call). Carriers and media companies have for
years desperately tried to force consumption
onto the phone (WAP sites, video, etc), and
consumers don't grasp on like they do with
communication-based products. It seems to
me any new technology will be utilized by
people primarily to talk to each other.”
