You Can Take It With You

More than four out of five American adults own at least one wireless device, and there are now more mobile phones in the United States than televisions and computers, combined.

This session will feature discussion of the current mobile landscape and possible visions for the mobile-enabled future, with a focus on innovative uses of mobile technology in the arts, and the technology's influence on language, literature and culture.
