Mobile phones, maybe, but pocket computers? I'm not so sure they're inherently social. Not completely so, anyway. They have a lot of utility beyond communication, and that may dilute their socialness to the point that it's no longer central.

- gcb 16y agotrue. no matter how advanced is your device, it must be connected. google realized that a while ago. Anyone remember all the fuss with free wifi and darknet? my bet is that it's now trying a more subtle approach. Andoid thetering via open wifi hotstop by default, anyone? Btw, as my personal "fuck you" to AT&T i make my android became a open hotspot over 3G every time it's charging.
