Online capabilities continue to spread at an amazing rate and are now demonstrating how archaic it will soon feel to be "desktop confined". The newest mobile innovation, TracNet, a system that allows passengers to access the Internet from a vehicle's video screens, launched less than 6 weeks ago. TracNet brings the Internet to the pre-installed screens in any mobile unit including your car, truck, RV or boat. And wouldn't you know, I've been wondering if I can get podcasts on my boat?
It also turns the entire vehicle into a wireless hot spot, so passengers can use their laptops to go online. You can click here for an excellent streamed video preview at CNET reviews.
The point of hightlighting mobile technology advances in this blog is that there is mounting evidence that our culture, our lifestyles and our societies, in general, as we currently know them are undergoing the kind of transformations that will make many of our traditional social institutions in need of dramatic reform.
