Smart Mobs: The next social revolution
Another good reading is Howard Rheingold "SMART MOBS: The next social revolution".
The book written in 2002 is a global approach (from Tokyo to Helsinki, Manhattan to Manila) of the convergence of mobile communications and computing that are driving the next social revolution and transforming the ways in which people meet, mate, work, buy, sell, govern, and create.
This reading is rich in names, definitions and visions. Many of the perspectives foreseen in this book are today everyday life. I really liked the way he reminds us that, the real impact of LBS MOSOSO will come not from the technology itself but from how people use it and ultimately use it to transform themselves, their communities, and their institutions.
The website is not as good but worth a visit www.smartmobs.com
