Introduction

Hello! My name is Meredith Burke, and I'm a Corporate Communication student at the University of Baltimore. I have created this blog for my final project in the course Communication Technology. Our assignment is to research an existing technology and project it into the future, based on our findings, and share our findings in a creative fashion. I plan to use this blog to discuss the potential future of mobile phones.  

In the future, I believe that an even greater majority of the population will have what we now call mobile or cell phones, except these devices will come to have a different name. Cell phones today already serve many more functions than just voice calling, and those functions are continually expanding. At some point, the various types of communications technology we use - telephones, computers with Internet access, televisions, music players, cameras - will be combined in a single device. I'll call it a MOHB - short for mobile device.

I will examine various components of the MOHB as I project it, using examples from existing technology and the opinions of experts in the field. Feel free to check out the links I provide in each entry to learn more about these topics.

Note: for easier reading, I've posted these entries backwards, so my most recent post (this one) is really the first one you should read. See the link "Older Posts" at the bottom of the page to read my last couple entries, along with my conclusion.
