Here is an excerpt which made me wonder about the speed of change....I have nowwhere near caught up with the last technology revolution yet, (I don't even own a smartphone), let alone being prepared for the next one !
"What is clear is that as the web becomes more accessible its impact will become more potent. Information will circulate faster and be more readily available - that will allow shoppers to further optimise their spending.
Even now shoppers with smart phones can photograph bar codes on the goods they are interested in and the same application uses the web to show where else that product is available on line, and in stores nearby, and at what price. Your personal e-shopper has arrived!
The next step in the fast evolving smart phone area is near field communications which allows the phone to become your credit card, train ticket, and access to your car, house and office. But why stop at smart phones? Why not a chip or two embedded around your body and a pair of smart glasses to manage all your web, phone, payment, medical needs? It's a matter of when, rather than if, smart phones become obsolete."
