Being wired into the Internet and mobile technology here at UBC, I wonder how my life would be different if I grew up with mobile phones, digital cameras, and the Internet. Would I be able to multi-task better, would I be a more critical thinker, and would I view my mobile phone more as a fashion accessory rather than a practical device?
Last weekend I came across articles and studies that discuss how mobile phones companies are beginning to focus on the 'tweens market (those between 8 - 12 or 9-13 years) as the current market penetration for this segment of society is quite small. Mobile telecommunication companies may see this as an opportunity to instill brand loyalty at an early age.
