The Invisible Computer Revolution: 1

I picked a video off of Youtube of a man giving a presentation of mobile phones, and how they swept across America, and how they are beginning to boom in other countries. Cell phone adoption in the year 2000 was only at about forty percent. Now, it is at eighty percent. In Africa, more and more cell phones are being used, as well as the internet. They even grew to fifty-eight percent used by the population of Africa from the year 1994-2004! It is now becoming easier and easier to communicate with people in foreign countries. It's hard to believe that at one time it was nearly impossible. As cell phones and the internet continue to grow all over the world, more and more people are able to connect with each other no matter where they are in the world.
