Future Mobile Technology
Younghee Jung leads a multidisciplinary research team at Nokia called “Insight and Innovation” (download PowerPoint slides from Nokia Connection 2007 conference). Jung talks about what to expect next from your mobile phone, the newest ideas in the pipeline, and the questions that Nokia is asking women.
She spends the first half of the video describing how important mobile phones have become to us and that they have become so ubiquitous that a third of the global population owns one. The second half is spent on the challenges facing cellphones today and how new usage models will solve social problems that we as humans have always had to deal with.
