Mobile Egalitarianism

Mobiles (handheld unfixed telephony and computing devices) are the most revolutionary things to happen, more revolutionary than any revolutionary phenomenon except rationalism which gets us into science and technology. My reference to revolution here is about egalitarianism.

First, mobile is ubiquitous, thanks to the market economy. More people possess mobile than anything else except some items of clothing. Secondly, mobiles hold eyeballs for more time than anything else if they are not under compulsion to watch something else. Thirdly, mobiles provide people many platforms and mechanisms for doing things from anywhere. The point is that things come to people, people do not go to things. It is a well which appears before the thirsty. A person becomes the centre. Lastly, mobiles cut every phenomenon to the size of their screens. They deprive any spectacle of its mojo and thus make a major tool of inegalitarian ordering far less effective.
