Emerging Technologies
Last week, the association I work for held a wireless technology fair and reception on Capitol Hill, displaying the latest and greatest in mobile technology from all sorts of member companies such as Nokia, Verizon Wireless, and T-Mobile.
I am not a gadget or toy person to say the least, but talking with some company representatives about emerging technology was fascinating. There are so many innovations in the world of wireless technology, mobile phones that have laptop applications, PDA functionality, and digital and video camera capabilities; all in one sleek handset.
With such technology all in one device is incredible. Building from many political groups and campaigns utilization of PDAs, it will be interesting to observe how further innovations will effect the use of grassroots organizing.

I agree that it will be interesting to watch the technology develop over time. The real development will probably be in cell phones as they replace our MP3 player, PDA, Blackberry, and maybe even portable DVD player. It will be really interesting to see if someone streams campaign ads directly to cell phones in the future. After all, you'll be able to get mini-TV shows and ESPN highlights, they predict.
