The Electronic Pulse
October 13th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
The year of 2011 – will be remembered for many things, maybe i am a bit out early, but i somehow remember something special; How depended we have become of Smart Phones and Mobiles – in general.
We have just encountered (October 2011) a few days of “Challenging Blackberry Connectivity Issues” and as such a public cry-out for “killing the company, switching to IPhone/Android or something else”.
We tend to forget (Can’t talk about the whole world, so i will focus on the Nordic) – that we this year had outage on the 3-Network, we had the Telenor and Telia Outage(s), and several other drop out…. All easily forgotten – just about a week after the event, once we got our gadgets back(in operation).
We have made our-self somehow electronic citizens, addicts and ignorants at the same time, expecting no problems ever to occur, and cry out for remediation if we ever experience a major (or minor) incident.
My biggest fear is, that we never really appreciate where the technology has brought us, and how fast if has become a real part of our daily life, to an extend (and addiction) that start makes me a bit worried.
How about you, can you control you addiction ???
