We take connectivity for granted in our daily lives. The point is driven home when it is absent, in a desert where only one oasis is available.
Like the camping in Croatia where I am now with one (free) hotspot at the reception. The whole day long, from 7 to 24 hrs you see people with laptops, netbooks and Iphones huddling together on chairs, ridges and even cars that are driven to this spot.
The tally for today: no less than 10 concurrent users, maximum close to 40. From 6 years old to over 60, all nationalities.
About Herman
Herman Wagter is one of the founders and co-editor of Dadamotive. His work as interim manager and consultant (Citynet Amsterdam/Fiber-to-the-Home, Platform Sustainable Mobility) has involved him directly in the impact of hyperconnectivity and sustainability on society. As an independent agent and "mobile warrior" he has experienced the pro's and con's of how organizations and projects can be structured, and what the effects on the final result can be. In his opinion we are entering an era of profound change, driven by these fundamental forces. Following the trends, discovering the fun and debunking the half-truths is a passion he likes to share with others.
