Mobile computing allows transmission of data, voice, and video through wireless devices without a fixed connection. It enables connectivity anywhere and anytime, bringing the internet to areas without infrastructure. However, mobile networks have low bandwidth, high variability, and other challenges like security risks, different device capabilities, and intermittent disconnections. The future of mobile computing includes using artificial intelligence, more compact integrated circuitry, and faster processors to add more functionality to smaller, more powerful wireless devices.
