  • Mobile in Learning: Lessons from Around the World
    Mobile in Learning: Lessons from Around the World Tomi T. Ahonen, Author and Consultant Excerpt from brand new book Mobile as 7th of the Mass Media Cellphone, Cameraphone, iPhone, Smartphone by Tomi T Ahonen 322 pages hardcover, August 2008 ISBN 978-0-9556069-3-9 futuretext Ltd. USD $39.95 / UKP £19.95 / Euro €29.95 Available at all major booksellers, at Amazon and directly from the publisher: www.futuretext.com "Tomi instinctively knows that in the tumult of convergence between mobile and other media, there lies opportunity. In this book, building on his earlier themes, he presents his ideas with characteristic wit and charm, handily demystifying this new media landscape. A most enjoyable and remarkably practical book, his best yet!" Daniel Appelquist, Senior Technology Strategist, Vodafone Group UK From the back cover: Mobile as 7th of the Mass Media Cellphone, cameraphone, iPhone, smartphone ...On the other hand, you have your other cellphone. The cellphone is emerging as a mass media. Twice as many cellphones as TV sets, three times as many cellphone subscribers as internet users, four times as many cellphones as Personal Computers, five times as many cellphones as cars. 31% of all music dollars spent worldwide already go to a wide array of cellphone based music services. 20% of videogaming software revenues. Advertising, news, TV, internet giants, social networking and even Hollywood movies and printed books are now rushing to capture their share of the 7th of the Mass Media. How addicted is the youth to cellphones? Why is SMS text messaging used by twice as many people as email worldwide? How can banks, libraries, dentists and airlines serve customers better through the 7th of the Mass Media? What are the seven unique benefits that none of the legacy six media, including the internet, can replicate? Why is small screen size and limited keypad only a myth? Cellphones are not the dumb little brothers to the internet; rather mobile is to the internet, like TV is to radio, a far more compelling and complete media platform that will soon dominate.
