"Indeed, even the experience of a single individual, such as migrant worker in China, the middle-class protester in the Philippines,or the urban microentrepreneur in Dhaka can provide insight into how the mobile’s use reflects and structures
each of these large-scale social processes.In this vein, much work remains.As mobile adoption continues to race ahead – as the next billion users join the mobile community,their choices about how and when to use the technology use will contribute to (or stall) economic development, will represent (or reframe) the meaning of modernity, and will help structure (or resist) globalization itself."
