IMing Revolution Suggests Broader Social Implications 

"This generation is one of multitaskers who believe they can and are getting more things done simultaneously. It's hard to believe that multitaskers can do all those tasks well, as anybody who has driven behind someone on a cell phone will tell you. But that issue aside, maybe we are slowly wiring future generations in a new way. Maybe 40 years from now, we'll drive and yak as easily as we walk and chew gum today. Maybe we're turning ourselves into what our newest cell phones are: portable units capable of communicating in multiple formats.

Parents are seeing their high school teens rewiring their brains now. When the kids aren't talking on the phone, they're texting on it, and when they get home, they're IMing on the computer. Wary of this form of communication, many schools restrict cell phone use to prevent in-class chatting -- and cheating. But if the use of instant messaging is an indication, there are signs that these communication habits will stick with teens even beyond their college years....

So if this isn't a group of successful multitaskers, they think they are, and their skills will evolve along with the cell phones that already can surf the Web, play games, text-message, show television and download and play music.

But that evolution also means a whole group of children is being left behind because there's still no bridge across the digital divide. Chances are most of the respondents in the Pew studies were neither minorities nor from lower economic backgrounds. Low-income families are less likely to have a computer at home, and minorities are less likely to start using a computer at an early age, according to recent findings of the Kaiser Family Foundation.

The foundation's study of Internet access and use by children ages 8 to 18 found that because of this class-race gap, technological literacy -- understanding the language of icons and knowing how to find information online -- was lacking among many minority children from lower-income homes, which were unlikely to have a computer or Internet connection." [Chicago Tribune, via textuall y.org]

Which, of course, is where libraries come in. Back in the 1990s, libraries debated whether email was a valid use of public computers, and now we're having that same discussion about instant messaging.

And you know what? The answer is the same - patrons using the internet to communicate, connect, exchange information, or just plain chat is indeed a valid use of public terminals. We have to get over this issue now because when we don't let them IM in the library, we're telling them that we don't value their preferred method of communication, whether it's with their friends or with librarians. We're telling them that the library is not a place for instant messaging, so go somewhere else to do it.

Except that they are going to go somewhere else and do it (at least, those that can), and they're not going to come back and they're not going to think of the library when they think of instant messaging. Would your library find that attitude acceptable if we replace "IM" with "email?" How about if we replace "IM" with "telephone?"

Roaming is Hot Topic of the Day

Roaming is Hot Topic of the Day 12/05/2003 01:54 PM
">Roaming is a key requirement for Wi-Fi to take off but this writer is clueless: She seems to think that Intel's Centrino marketing program has something to do with roaming when really it's just an advertising push. The focus of this story is on technical challenges to roaming but she's missing the main issue. The technical challenges are small compared to the need for service providers to make agreements with each other so that a subscription to one service lets users access virtually any available hot spot. With those deals in place, more customers are likely to sign up for susbscriptions. She also includes some shameless promotion of a company that does business with her publisher. She cites Zinio as a "chief" player in marketing value-added Wi-Fi services. It looks to me like Zinio reformats magazines so that they look nice on handheld devices. What on earth does that have to do with roaming?? What a poor example of journalism....

Sprint PCS Keeps Roaming, Isn't Building

Sprint PCS Keeps Roaming, Isn't Building 07/16/2004 08:19 PM
Sprint PCS quietly sloughs off its own building plans?: This article notes that Sprint PCS said it would have access via 2,100 access points within a year. True. But they told me that 1,300 of those would be locations that they built out themselves. In this Wi-Fi Planet article linked above, the general manager of wireless LAN service for Sprint PCS -- not the person in this role last summer -- said, We are not deploying those ourselves. But that's not entirely accurate: they're building Truckstop.net locations via their managed services division, and then Truckstop.net is operating those locations and allowing Sprint PCS to roam on them. So they're not deploying, but they are building and supporting....

Wi-Fi to Cellular Roaming Stalled

Wi-Fi to Cellular Roaming Stalled 08/30/2004 09:56 AM

eWeek has an interesting article talking about the hurdles the new VoIP Wi-Fi and cellular-switching phones may have penetrating the market. Even though companies like Motorola are developing systems that allow cellphones to switch seamlessly to Wi-Fi, the thought is that the savings provided to corporate infrastructure might be moot as cellular rates continue to drop. Of course, the people who really want this service are regular consumers like you and me, even though we are probably going to be the last people to get it (it may be more realistic to cheer on Verizon and other carriers to offer high-speed cellular networks like EV-DO and EDGE).

But interestingly, hospitals may be the earliest adopters of the Wi-Fi/cellular switching phones, specifically because of the dangers cellular radios can cause to sensitive medical equipment. If the phones switch to Wi-Fi, they can control the power levels to be weaker and (presumably) safer.

Roaming Poised to Expand

Roaming Poised to Expand 11/06/2003 12:46 AM
The Wall Street Journal says T-Mobile near signing a roaming agreement (link good for 7 days): The article reports that roaming is starting to become an inevitability. I'm curious whether T-Mobile envisions a model in which there is fee settlement across networks, or it's free roaming. The TeliaSonera model cited in the article involves one bill, one account, but usage fees outside of the home network range of Finland and Sweden and certain TeliaSonera-operated hotspots in other Scandinavian countries. I stand by my prediction: within a year, all U.S. networks will have substantial inter-network roaming agreements that will allow unlimited usage by subscribers for $30 per month or less. The marginal but vital additional value of Wi-Fi will enhance cellular and landline businesses, and possibly that of wired ISPs, but it won't have the standalone value that some misguided souls believe it does today....
