CI 5475 Week 6.1 - Sprint Mobile Hot Spot "MiFi" Technology

The bellow Mobile Hot Spot "MiFi" technology designed by Sprint has FASCINATING implications for the sort of networked / connected / distributed thinking that we have been reading and talking about in our class. For example, with this personalized Mobile Hot Spot technology, teams of people can set up, quite literally wherever they want to, and work together to combine and synthesize their unique individual expertise and skill sets to complete tasks. For example, on a single portable network node which has the capability to merge up to 5 wireless devices with the larger internet, engineers, graphic designers, PR specialists, and so on could collaborate to develop, market, and release a new product. In an educational setting, reading specialists, special ed. specialists, curriculum design specialists, and so on could all connect to and share material across one network node, REGARDLESS of place, to design and revise curriculum. In short, many, many mobile possibilities here!



Also, bellow is an example of AT&T's EXTREMELY pathos-oriented strategy to market the possibilities of networked / connected / distributed thinking. Enjoy!
