Current Challenge: Mobiles, Cyber Security
Mobiles:
Introduction:
The mobile phone is stimulating one of the most important technological revolutions in human
history. This article first presents impacts, challenges, and predictions of mobile phone use. It
first indicates that the impact of the mobile phone on society has been predominantly positive
while the mobile phone has certain negative attributes. It then discusses multiple ways to
overcome mobile technology challenges (e.g., new radio technologies and specialized devices
optimized for medical, educational, or “Internet of things” applications). The authors predict
that, in the two or three more generations, mobile phones use will have exciting advances to
achieve the full benefits, especially in the area of healthcare, education, industry, daily life,
learning, and collaborations, which will be more effective, productive, and creative.
The mobile phone is stimulating one of the most important technological revolutions in human
history. This statement is not hyperbole. There are more mobile phones in use today than there
are people, but measuring quantity alone trivializes the importance of the mobile phone to those
who rely on it. Surveys have shown that people would rather eat less than give up their mobile
phone. People who forget their phone at home will return to retrieve it but would elect to move
on without their wallet. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that a mobile phone is an integral
part of a person, an extension of her or his personality.
And yet, the mobile phone revolution is just beginning. Simple “feature phones” have
contributed to lifting over a billion people out of severe poverty in Africa. Simple add-ons are
bringing professional medical treatment to remote villages in Mexico. In India, e-commerce is
raising the standard of living for millions. In developed countries, we are only beginning to
understand how much smartphones will improve our lives.
We are still in the early days of mobile phone development. Only a small fraction of the mobile
phone's potential has been unlocked. Services, especially Internet access, are too costly, as are
the phones themselves. Smartphones try to do all things for all people but do none optimally.
Mobile phones are designed as mass-market commodities without regard for the fact that
, people are unique and that different people benefit from phones designed for their unique
needs.
Each of these deficiencies is being addressed in our society in the following ways:
New radio technologies are increasing the capacity of existing systems and reducing service
costs.
Specialized devices optimized for medical, educational, or “Internet of things” applications are
appearing each day.
Applications are starting to appear that promise to revolutionize medicine, education, and
business.
People are starting to collaborate in ways that were not even dreamt about 10 years ago; the
capacity of mobile-phone-enabled collaboration to topple governments has already been
demonstrated.
Cybersecurity:
What is Cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and data from unauthorized
access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. Cybersecurity challenges are
the threats and vulnerabilities that organizations face in protecting their information and
systems from these threats.
