Mobile Phones Taking Over The Asylum







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.

Mobile Phones Shouldn't Be TVs


Mobile Phones Shouldn't Be TVs 11/17/2003 05:45 AM
In the past few months three major mobile phone makers (Sony, Samsung and Nokia) have announced plans to add TV tuners to their mobile phones and one major carrier (Sprint PCS) has launched a painfully slow (2 frames per second!) streaming TV option for some of their subscribers. The whole thing reminds me of the hype around portable TVs that were popular for a week or two in the eighties as the second coming of the walkman system. The idea was that if you liked carrying around your radio, wouldn't you like to carry around your TV as well? The answer turned out to be a big fat no, and most of the people who bought the TVs realized they never actually needed to watch TVs when they were out and about - because they were out and about doing something. So, why is the industry making the same mistake? Douglas Rushkoff thinks it's even worse, because having the mobile phone industry focusing on silly things like adding television to phones means they're spending less attention on improving the real reason people buy mobile phones: to have good voice calls. All the money and effort being spent on adding TVs no one wants could be better spent improving the mobile phone networks. He also has an interesting categorization of screen device "scales": inch, foot, yard. Inch devices (PDAs, phones) are for personal content or small bits of content - not for massive data retrieval. Foot devices (TVs, monitors) work as well for data input and data retrieval - and can be shared by just a few people at the same time. Yard devices (movie screens, big screen TVs, whiteboards) are better designed for one-to-many broadcast communication. He points out that realizing the basic size of the screen suggests the type of applications it's good for - and focusing too much on applications out of the sensible realm doesn't make sense.

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.

Mobile Phones As A Way Of Life In Japan


Mobile Phones As A Way Of Life In Japan 02/19/2004 02:17 PM
That the Japanese have have adopted mobile phones much faster than the US is no surprise. For years, people have been looking to Japan to see "what's coming next" in mobile phones (though, some suggest that South Korea is a much better example). A few years ago, before text messaging was used in the US, there were stories everywhere about how popular it was in Japan. Now that it's catching on in the US, people are looking at Japan again to see what they're doing, and what might be coming next to the US. The article paints a picture of a society where mobile phones are more than just a tool, but have become "a way of life" or an virtual extension of its owner. Many Japanese use their mobile phones in the same way that others use laptop computers, finding it easier to just use the mobile phone instead. Some are apparently worried that people are talking less and are less aware of the outside world around them, preferring to focus all their attention into the world at their thumb tips - though, this feels like the typical reaction people often have to new technologies (it's the same way some people initially reacted to the internet in general). The article also quotes some in Japan who dispute the notion that the Japanese experience is abnormal, and saying the only reason it hasn't gone this far in the US is that US wireless carriers have screwed up. Of course, as with any such article (especially coming from such a mainstream news source), this one simplifies a lot of the factors, both in Japan and elsewhere, that have helped drive mobile phone use in Japan, but is still an interesting read.

Sending Money Via Mobile Phones


Sending Money Via Mobile Phones 08/16/2004 02:27 PM
While there's been a lot of talk lately about various mobile payment systems like DoCoMo's FeLiCa (which is similar to Moneta in Korea, Dexit in Canada, and Speedpass in the US among others) it looks like the Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute is trying a slightly different approach, where users will be able to send money to anyone just by knowing their mobile phone number. This isn't just for mobile-to-mobile payments, but for any payment, so that someone doesn't have to reveal their bank account info. In many ways it's similar to PayPal, but instead of using an email address, you can pay to a mobile phone number. Of course, if I remember correctly, this was actually PayPal's original plan... to let people easily transfer cash between PDAs.

Since When Did Hollywood Get To Control
Our Mobile Phones?
03/28/2005 06:00 AM
Someone over at Verizon Wireless seems very confused about who the company's customers are. Of course, it's unfair to pick on just them, since almost all of the mobile carriers are thinking the same way, but it was the VP at Verizon Wireless who made a series of bizarre, short-sighted and flat-out wrong comments to the Associated Press that should have him looking for a new line of work. The AP piece starts out as a rehash of last week's story saying that the carriers have forced Motorola to shelve the iTunes phone for the time being. Then it shifts the story over to Verizon Wireless' decision to cripple Bluetooth on its phones to stop people from transferring content directly from their phones to PCs (or other phones) and require them to use their cellular connection (which, oh yeah, costs money). Verizon Wireless tries to defend the practice by claiming the entertainment industry made them do it. The quote comes from Jim Straight, vice president for wireless data and Internet services at Verizon Wireless, saying: "When it comes to the cell phone I have to abide by the rules of the content houses." No, actually, he doesn't. The content houses don't own the carriers. There's simply no reason why the makers of a communications platform should be crippling their devices to protect an obsolete broadcast business model. People are not buying mobile phones to get the latest Disney movie or hit song. They're buying them to communicate. If the big content companies don't want to play, it's their loss. People will continue to buy up mobile phones and communicate with them. No one's dying to have access to broadcast content on their phones. The content industry shouldn't be setting the rules here, and there's no reason why the carriers should be deferring to them.

Nothing like launching a new standards effort the same day you leave town. Lots of confusion over "why the Open-media.org Wiki is closed".

So just to be clear.

There is no Wiki - there is nothing there - you;r enot missing anything. The original call for participation was to get help from folks so we COULD have something on teh Wiki and somethign to show.

Once that's there - THEN it'll be open - and we'll have a web site - too. So give us a few days - maybe a week.

Meanwhile I get to meet Roland Tanglao and Boris Mann (of Streamline) tonight - along with Stewart Butterfield, Caterina Fake and Jon Husband for dinner at some whacky Japanese place (Guu with Handsome.)

I think they think I'm some sort of Japan-o-phile. It's true - I used to be - back between 86'-95' - I did over 60 trips there.

Show - des neh! Wari Wari Wah.

Anyway - Vancouver is a gorgeous city, the weather is perfect and I'm nerding out on all sorts of new tools, opportunities and funding.

Vancouver tech businesses on special
this week: Flickr and SchemaSoft
03/22/2005 11:44 PM
Two Vancouver-based companies have made the news this week for being purchased by large technology firms. The first to announce was the purchase of Flickr by Yahoo. Flickr is the photo-sharing service we use to bring you many of our news story images and the random photos you see in the right margin. The company's blog states that, "It means that we'll no longer have to draw straws to see who gets paid... Flickr will be continuing on the path it's on -- to Flickr 1.0 and beyond. We'll be working with a bunch of people that Totally Get Flickr and want to preserve the community and the flavor of what is here."

Sure, that's kinda what Bungie said when Microsoft bought them.

The other acquisition was by Apple itself in its purchase of SchemaSoft. The software company, which currently has its headquarters in Vancouver, is best known for developing tools that aid various software in translating rival file formats.

I wonder why Apple would want to translate rival file formats.

SchemaSoft had also been a Visual Studio.NET Integration Partner since 1999, and worked with Microsoft to build parts of the .NET framework and the .NET services used by Microsoft itself.

I guess they won't be doing that so much anymore. Let the rumors fly.
