The document discusses differences in mobile phone usage between British and American teenagers. It finds that British teens widely use advanced smartphones to access the internet and perform other tasks, as internet access is more limited and phone calls cost money in the UK. However, American teens tend not to purchase high-end smartphones as they have cheaper home internet access and can use separate devices like game consoles or computers to do activities like gaming, music, and video editing. So British teens rely more on their phones, while Americans can fulfill needs through other means.
M-learning, or mobile learning, involves using mobile technologies like smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices to enhance the learning experience. Key aspects of m-learning include learning anywhere and anytime through portable devices, as well as interacting with educational content in context and on the go. Popular m-learning tools include apps and content designed for iPods, smartphones, and other mobile devices that allow learning both inside and outside the classroom. The future of m-learning may involve a shift to more hands-on, experiential, and lifelong learning through just-in-time access to educational resources on mobile devices.
The document discusses trends in mobile learning around the world. While trends are similar globally, choices in technology and cultural significance vary across regions. Mobile networks now cover 90% of the world's population, but specific implementations differ - for example, some areas have expensive long contracts while others use micro-payments. Educators are struggling to understand how to best leverage mobile learning given rapid technology changes and varying access to devices and infrastructure in different locations. The key is designing content for mobile contexts and users' moments of need rather than formal classroom settings.
The document discusses how technology used in education has changed over time and will continue to rapidly change. It notes how students in the past were criticized for depending too much on newer technologies like ink, paper, pens, and ballpoint pens rather than traditional tools like slates and sharpened pencils. It then outlines many emerging and future technologies that will impact education like faster processors, smart cards, larger storage, and wireless connectivity. It also discusses challenges this will create for instructors, individualization of learning, and changes needed in the structure of educational institutions.

Cell phones have evolved greatly since their origins in the mid-20th century. Early research into mobile phones in the 1940s used large vehicle-based phones, but the first handheld mobile phone call was made in 1973. The modern cell phone industry developed through 3 generations of technology, starting with analog networks in the 1980s, digital networks in the 1990s, and 3G technology in the 2000s which enabled streaming media and advanced cell phone features seen today. Cell phone technology has transformed communications and is predicted to continue advancing rapidly in the future.
Cell phones have evolved greatly since their origins in the mid-20th century. Early research into mobile phones in the 1940s used large vehicle-based phones, but the first handheld mobile phone call was made in 1973. Mass adoption of cellular technology was slow at first due to regulatory hurdles, but the introduction of digital networks in the 1980s and 1990s helped popularize cell phones. Modern cell phones are on their third generation of technology and support features like live streaming media, demonstrating how far the technology has progressed from its beginnings in car-based radios.

American Teens: Stupid or Spoiled?
I hadn't been to Europe for close to a year, and have to admit I was surprised, even inspired by the speed with
which young people are upgrading their handheld wireless devices over there. As I strolled the streets of London
neighbourhoods, I saw kids taking photos, shooting video, sending real email (not just text messages or sms, but
genuine internet mail), and even mo-blogging, nearly everywhere I looked.
These just weren't the wealthy kids in the posh areas, but real people from a fairly wide variety of socio-economic
and cultural backgrounds. It seemed to be that a majority of people under forty, and nearly everyone under 20,
was sporting a fairly new and fully featured mobile phone.
Rather than bemoan the rampant (perhaps American-born) consumerism that may have contributed to English
youth's rapid uptake of new cell phones, I chose instead to explore the factors motivating all this handset
replacement. Why do they want the latest models? Style? Do they all love cell phone games? The ability to check
sports scores from the street? Why must they send photos to one another with so much urgency that it requires
always-ready wireless access?
The answer occurred to me as I wandered the Knightsbridge district in search of a place to check my email. There
were no Internet cafes. My friends in South Kensington happened to own a computer and a very expensive and
unstable connection. Unlike the United States, local phone calls in the UK actually cost money - a lot of money.
In such an environment, a highly functional cell phone is not a luxury gadget, but a primary access point to the
net. It's not seen as just another gadget to go along (and ultimately dock) with the PC, digital camera, mp3 player,
web cam, and game console. It is to serve as all these things, all by itself.
In America, where consumerism still does run rampant, old PC's are stacked in people's closets, and landline
access is cheap, or even free. Access is plentiful.
That's why reluctance of America's youth to dish out two or three hundred dollars on the latest Samsung camera
phone or Sony mp3-capable handset may be incorrectly attributed to their lack of sophistication with wireless
handheld devices. And it's certainly not a low appetite for digital services, messaging, music, and authoring.
America's youth are among the world's most avid consumers and users of gaming consoles, email, mp3's, video
editing, and web blogs. It's not their lack of technological sophistication that keeps American teens from investing
in souped-up cell phones; quite on the contrary, it's their access to technologies that are superior for each of
these tasks. They play games on a Playstation, listen to mp3's on an iPod, send messages using a real keyboard,
shoot pictures with a camera, and edit video on a computer.
It's not that American kids don't have cell phones. They do. It's just that they don't have the same need to use
their phones for activities that are already being satisfied better elsewhere. Even if they don't prove to be eager
handset upgraders, America's youth will still rack up airtime on the cell phones they already have. They're just
going to do it the old fashioned way: talking. (By Douglas Rushkoff, Fri Oct 17, 2003)
