The development of the internet was one of the great innovations of technology brought to society. As we continue to expand our horizons today we find ourselves in a virtual world of these new innovations each and everyday. Once internet was introduced as just being able to gain access that linked you to others in a network, it was a huge step for the entire world. Today, this is a common aspect that is helped by virtually anyone who owns a computer. It is nothing new, especially to those who had grown up in this technologically advanced generation.
The introduction of the internet having a mobile aspect was unheard of a not too long ago, probably because dial up was the primary way of having to connect to the internet. Today, it is something that is used universally by all sorts of people. Mobile Internet has been an innovation that has led us to create many other technological opportunities regarding the internet, as well as being able to renovate existing technologies. Since the existence of mobile internet, there have been many other inventions and creations that have benefitted society in many different ways. Innovating ideas is what runs our world today. If someone has a new idea that they think they want to give a shot at, they might as well because there have been so many different ideas that have helped the community of technology.
There are many different ways in which innovation that the mobile internet can be linked. First of all, the creation of mobile internet was more or less a renovation of the primary internet that everyone was only able to access in their homes. Now that people have the option to carry around their laptop and be able to surf the web whenever they want, that makes the internet all that much of a better aspect. The main link that I think is shared between innovation and the mobile internet is the way that it has created more options, opportunities, products, and even jobs for the entire society. Innovation is roughly defined as something new being created; a new idea. What this is saying about mobile internet is that they can be used together to get at ideas that were once not even heard of. For example, the primary way that people access the mobile internet is through their laptop. Having to walk around and be able to surf the web and do your work is quite a convenience for some. Today, people have gone far beyond that point and have taking the idea of the mobile internet and compounded it with other innovated products, such as cell phones which are a huge jump in this area of advancements.
Now that you have people walking around with internet access on their cellular devices, you have to think that the people who were coming up with this idea did not want to stop there. It is true, they did not. Virtually, you can do anything you want with a cell phone today as you can with a basic home based desktop computer. Anything task you can think of doing on a computer, such as playing music, organizing events, email and instant messenger are all results or parts of the surge of mobile internet. If someone can gain access on a device the size of your hand, I think they can do virtually anything they want with it. The way I see this is that it is sort of a domino effect in a way. People innovate and create something new, which in turn leads to another new idea, and that leads to another new idea and so on. It is something to think about when recognizing the ways that innovation had affected our lives with mobile internet.

Its true that we pretty much have a PC in the palm of our hands, even some cell phone come with keypads for faster surfing the web or IMs. Good post!
Your right when you say that cell phones are little computers. With the new i phone out I think more people will start getting phones that grants them access to the internet anytime they want and increase the capablity of us being in contact with people always.
Fact: The internet is taking over our lives. You made some very valid points to back it. If we have internet litterally in the palm of our hands, what will the next advancement be?
