It defines the modern mobile worker, busting myths that they are young females or only technology workers by presenting data showing most are over 40, male, and in professional/managerial roles.

My presentation for Kids Safety "Safer internet in a virtual world (2006)"Sotiris Karagiannis
Back in 2006 I have played with a project that took 24 hours from an idea to its completion. It was a virtual machine in a USB stick, for child safety. A virtual monitored environment.
Now, similar techniques are used from BYOD vendors to protect enterprise data.
I am looking at it again (2014) and it still looks innovative to me. But now wearable devices can play the same role.
