Comments on: Watching the Internet blur into the background http://conversations.nokia.com/2008/08/20/watching-the-internet-blur-into-the-background/ Stories from around the Nokia neighbourhood Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:32:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: ARJWright http://conversations.nokia.com/2008/08/20/watching-the-internet-blur-into-the-background/comment-page-1/#comment-655 ARJWright Fri, 22 Aug 2008 03:24:58 +0000 http://conversations.nokia.com/?p=379#comment-655 You know; I think that for many people this is already happening. But in the sense that the Internet is looked at as a utility like water or electricity. Its almost assumed to be there, and assumed all the more to be taken advantage of by those who will respect its uses. That being said, context awareness should enable this to happen more. I'm not sure if the next generation of mobilists are going to see it any more than we are except in some vertical applications, but it will make a more signifiant appearance. The kicker will be how context aware internet use will change with culture's leanings. For example, this is something already in play with QR Codes in parts of EU and Asia, however, context aware internet in another place might be MMS coupons in USA. For now, that context isn't defined enough to change anything, but its getting there. Great topic by the way. You know; I think that for many people this is already happening.
