Saylor explains that the current generation of  mobile smart phones and tablet computers has set the stage to become the  universal computing platform for the world. In the hands of billions of  people and accessible anywhere and anytime, mobile computers are poised  to become an appendage of the human being and an essential tool for  modern life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With the perspective of a historian, the precision of a  technologist, and the pragmatism of a CEO, Saylor provides a panoramic  view of the future mobile world. He describes how: A Harvard education  will be available to anyone with the touch of a screen. Cash will become  virtual software and crime proof. Cars, homes, fruit, animals, and more  will be tagged so they can tell you about themselves. Buying an item  will be as easy as pointing our mobile device to scan and pay.Land and  capital will become more of a liability than an asset. Social mobile  media will push all businesses to think and act like software  companies. Employment will shift as more service-oriented jobs are  automated by mobile software. Products, businesses, industries,  economies, and even society will be altered forever as the Mobile wave  washes over us and changes the landscape. With so much change, \u003ci\u003eThe  Mobile Wave\u003c\/i\u003e is a guidebook for individuals, business leaders, and public  figures who must navigate the new terrain as mobile intelligence  changes everything.","brand":"Da Capo Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076442145008,"sku":"9780306822988","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780306822988_p0.jpg?v=1769887330","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780306822988","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
