IIPM Programme :- SUPERIOR COURSE CONTENTS

If you took emails on your cell phone for granted, remember that only around 0.1 million subscribers out of a huge 270 odd million cell phone users have access to such facility. Enter the email via sms facility!

If Charles Babbage takes credit for inventing the term ‘mechanical computer’, the term ‘teleputer’ can be credited to George Gilder, a man who saw the future of the modern day computer on mobile screens; and given the pace of things, that day in human history may not be distant anymore. The world that we live in is deeply connected through technology and there are vast number of gadgets of various shapes and sizes on which we are dependent to make our lives simpler or to help us remain connected. On this technological planet that we live on, experts have been on a constant lookout for a particular device that could get us as close to true convergence as possible. Of course, there have been many experiments made in the past on devices like the computer and television etc. But it was only when technology experts started fiddling with ‘mobile handsets’ looking for achieving similar results with them, and when typically capitalist companies realised the money promise that the concept held, that the idea of a mobile phone being the one and all convergence platform, started taking a structure with more reality than Star Wars hype.

For the mobile suddenly was being perceived as being not just a device that enabled one to cut down distances through voice, but also a device where you could download music, watch TV, cable channels and oh, sending and receiving emails was obviously taken for granted as the birth right of any mobile user. And some of the smarter users [one should mention, extremely rare] now are even vying for the swanky concept of Global Positioning Radio Systems (GPRS). Ironically, although GPRS has been around for a while, in India there have been very few takers for this till date; unlike the smartphone or Blackberry users who have been using Internet services since some time now. But even that perhaps might be pushing it too much. Factor this; in a country that has a population of over 1.2 billion and a mobile subscriber base running into 267 million, there are not even one lakh people in the country who own a Blackberry.
