Mobility as the word suggests, the ability to move freely anywhere and anytime. Today, mobility has become a
very important aspect of our life; it’s like the air we breathe. Just imagine a world without mobility, without the
freedom to move, being stuck to one point; hard to imagine today. Mobility in technological terms is related to
the same concept, but here mobility enables the use of wireless technologies, which enables users to roam
freely, while still being in touch. Mobility and communication trends are related to each other; the more is the
mobility of a product or service the more communicating ability it gives to connect to everyone.
Over 2/3rd of CIOs and IT professionals believe that Mobility will impact their business more as the Internet did
in the 1990’s. The mobile communication technologies have evolved with time to enable users to send large
amount of data at high speeds across a global network. If we look at the mobile user base statistics from 2013
to 2016, the number of users have increased from 4.01billion to 4.61billion respectively, this does not stop here;
the projection for mobile user base from 2016 to 2019 is 4.61billion to 5.07 billion respectively.
At all this big data of how mobile user base will increase, it will ultimately lead to all people communicating with
each other. Communication is not just about talking to humans, but it is also about talking to things or everything
and then comes the concept of IOT/IOE i.e. the Internet of things or the internet of everything. IOT/IOE is not
just the ability to make 2 devices talk or communicate in an orderly fashion but it is a network, A network that
understands what we need and when, just like the new Google Home.
Google Home is a voice-activated home product that enables an individual or a family to get answers from
Google, and manage everyday tasks. This is how far we have reached in communication, a machine talking to a
man.
Google Home helps in anything and everything as to say. Want to know the Blockbuster movie running?
Want to know about the best Diner nearby to your home Google Home has the answer to it. The transition
phase of technology and communication trends is the best thing one could live, not only one gets to see the
basic models but also the high tech ones. Watching communication technology evolve is the best thing that can
happen to anyone. Virtual reality is not too far as well, there would be a time when a person can communicate
directly by a holographic display rather than using Skype. Storage was an issue for communication but with cloud
computing on the highway the scenario has changed totally. Trends in mobility and communication are yet to
see and explore more horizons unknown to mankind.
