Let Them Eat Mobile Phones

Let Them Eat Mobile Phones 09/22/2004 09:15 PM
Reuters is reporting that African leaders want to buy a bunch of mobile phones because "there are more telephones in Manhattan than in all Africa." Apparently, if you just add mobile phones to a bunch of poor countries, all else will be solved. I've taken a deeper look at this story over at TheFeature, where I compare the situation to the famous "cargo cults" of the South Pacific in World War II, where a confusion over the big picture (and cause and effect) led groups of people to think they could solve all their problems by mimicking the basic actions of others, but not getting to the root causes of the situation. I do think that technology can be a huge help to developing nations, but ad hoc solutions to "just add technology X" are never going to help unless the real issues are addressed first.

Doctors Want Their Mobile Phones

Doctors Want Their Mobile Phones 07/01/2004 03:41 PM
There have been some questions lately on why exactly hospitals ban mobile phones. The common reasoning, of course, is that the phones may interfere with medical equipment -- but most medical equipment is pretty well shielded, and there are lots of other items, such as emergency service radios that would seem likely to cause a lot more interference, but don't. So, now, many doctors in the UK are standing up and saying the ban on mobile phones should be dropped. They point out that risks are minimal, and it would make their lives much easier. They also point out (probably quite accurately) that they're positive plenty of people are wandering around hospitals all the time with mobile phones turned on in their pockets, and they don't see why they should be banned. Of course, there are other reasons for keeping mobile phones away from doctors -- such as the fact that they can pick up germs. Good thing there's now a sterilizing phone charger.

Fear, Uncertainty And Mobile Phones

Fear, Uncertainty And Mobile Phones 07/30/2004 09:14 PM
Earlier this week, the semiconductors editor of EE Times wrote this incredibly fear mongering piece about how mobile phones were "sucking" in every other kind of device and that was going to create a "catastrophic vortex" for the semiconductor industry. The article got picked up by Slashdot, and is now receiving an awful lot of undeserved attention. The reasoning in the piece is terrible, so I've tried to pick it apart at TheFeature, looking at how the original articles misunderstands commoditization and innovation and assumes a constant world where the only innovation is that mobile phones will have more features -- rather than recognizing that as mobile phones get more features, it will allow many more things to be connected, providing even more opportunities for semiconductors.

Mobile Phones Taking Over The Asylum

Mobile Phones Taking Over The Asylum 01/27/2004 01:16 AM
Interesting article by the head of a psychiatric institute in New York City discussing whether or not patients should be allowed to have mobile phones. They allowed them - but the chargers had to be kept behind the nurses' station (so patients couldn't use the cords to hang themselves). While there were benefits to letting patients connect with the outside world - it also took away some element of the "asylum": they no longer seemed away from everything. Eventually, though, they decided to stop allowing mobile phones for a very different reason: all of the annoying ringtones became too much for the nurses to deal with. They have no problem with internet connections to the outside world. Patients can bring in laptops and email and IM away. However, the only people allowed to use mobile phones are those looking for jobs, who aren't thrilled about potential employers calling them on the psychiatric institute's main line.

Do Mobile Phones Attract Lightning?

Do Mobile Phones Attract Lightning? 07/26/2004 05:31 AM
China is warning people not to use mobile phones during thunderstorms after a report that fifteen people were injured when a mobile phone acted as a lightening rod. The story certainly has all the elements of an urban legend, so it seemed worthwhile to dig a bit deeper on this one. According to a hoax-busting site, this story has been making the rounds over email for quite some time, with no facts to support it. In fact, many sites recommend you use a mobile phone rather than a fixed line phone in a thunderstorm, since they're much safer. While the news article quotes a professor claiming that "the electromagnetic waves emitted by mobile phones are quite good conductors of electricity," the hoax busting site quotes someone from Motorola saying: "No, lightning won't 'follow the radio waves' back to your phone.... I really doubt that 600 mW of omnidirectional RF can ionize anything, let alone make a more conductive path between the clouds and ground. It does make a nice urban legend, though." From the sound of all this, it sounds like the injuries in question from the article may simply be because the people struck by lightning were the tallest items around (they were standing on the Great Wall) and not because of the mobile phone someone was using.

US Doctors Want Mobile Phones In
Hospitals Too 09/27/2004 11:27 AM
While we've already written about doctors in the UK saying hospital bans on mobile phones should be dropped it appears that there's a similar movement in the US. Healthcare officials are starting to call the ban a "myth," an "old wives' tale" and "a silly thing." Some, though, are still worried, and claim anecdotal evidence that mobile phones can interfere with equipment -- despite increasing evidence that it's very specific, more reasonably blocked, circumstances that would cause the interference. In fact, some are saying that allowing mobile phones in hospitals would do much more to save lives, noting how many deaths there are due to prescription mistakes that might be solved by a simple, quick phone call in the hospital -- while also pointing out that "there is no evidence that a cell phone has ever killed a patient."

Mobiles Outnumber Fixed-line Phones

"In 2002, for the first time, the number of mobile phones worldwide outnumbered fixed-line phones, according to the ITU....

In less developed countries in Asia and South America, where fixed-line infrastructure is underdeveloped, mobile phones are the most economic means of communication, and as a result there has been massive mobile phone growth in these countries. This is likely to continue for some time.

According to the ITU only 36.35% of the world’s population had a phone in 2002, up from 28.74% in 2000. What is striking, however, is that the adoption of mobile phones is having a major impact on the total teledensity throughout the world. At the rate of mobile phone growth worldwide, 50% of the world's population will have access to a phone by 2005." [eMarketer]

So as mobile phone ownership (or access) increases, how will libraries serve these patrons? What do remote library services look like when viewed through a cell phone rather than a desktop computer?

Apple's Next Operating System

Apple's Next Operating System 06/28/2004 02:49 PM

There will be a lot to like about Apple's next operating system, OS X 10.4, aka "Tiger", when it comes out sometime next year. In his keynote today at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, Steve Jobs said Apple will be moving the bar further ahead of Microsoft. The only hardware announcement was several new displays -- as usual, great industrial design at reasonably affordable prices. I'm very tempted by the new 20-inch model that will be on sale next month. But this gathering is for software developers, and the bulk of the talk was about the operating system. There's plenty of interesting stuff here. The best feature for average users will be the built-in search, something MIcrosoft is also working to improve in its next OS, called Longhorn. Assuming it works as advertised, what Apple calls "Spotlight" make much shorter work of a common woe for computer users: finding what's on our hard disk. The ability to hold video conferences with up to four people at once, and audio with up to 10, is another nice upcoming feature. The multimedia folks at Apple have been busy. Jobs spent a fair amount of time talking about the native inclusion of RSS into an upcoming version of the Safari browers, and a "personal clipping" service. There's a special search function just for RSS; I'm not clear on whether it's searching via one of the main RSS search engines, whether Apple will write its own or whether it's only searching your designated feeds. More on that later. I was dazzled by a real advance in scripting: Automator, an application that will make it much easier for regular folks to wire together various functions from various appliations. Great stuff. There's lots more, of course, but the main thing to remember is that this product could be as much as a year (or more) away. Apple's announcements today, so far ahead of the actual release of the software, are designed to get the software developers excited enough to build of these features natively in their own applications. I hope they do.

This question is behind most of Microsoft's recent antitrust problems. Microsoft's defenders often point out that Linux distributions include not just Web browsers and multimedia software, but office suites, graphics packages, and many other programs that are not "part of the operating system." This is true, but in the Linux distribution you can easily replace one browser with another, and you are free to use whatever multimedia playback program you like. And now, although it doesn't seem like a related topic, let's talk about modems and network cards for a moment.
