The Positive and Negative Implications of Emerging Mobile Technologies |
This paper identifies the positive and negative implications for society of emerging mobile technologies such as mobile telephones, laptops, 3G and SMS. An online survey recruited a total of 106 participants. The results suggest that whilst emerging mobile technologies undoubtedly offer a plethora of benefits to individuals, organisations and society, there is a corresponding need to raise user awareness on the increasing privacy, security and potential negative consequences relating to the rapid embrace of such technologies.
