Most teens and young adults in Japan rarely use computers to surf the World Wide Web. Instead they use cell phones to access a scaled-down wireless Web. The result: A growing computer literacy problem among Japan’s youth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The article conclusions leave a mixed feeling. Do Japanes Youngsters favor the cellphone really because it is more intimate medium than the PC? <\/p>\n
I think it’s the ubiquity which really makes the mobile phone the most attractive communication tool. Certainly there is also the price argument and the peer pressure, but I think ubiquity is the most important. Naturally the article mentions all these reasons, but it’s the emphasis put on certain reasons that I do not agree with. <\/p>\n
Anyway, it’s an important article and I am curious how quickly this evolution will be noticed in Europe. <\/p>\n
