UbiComp for Mobile Devices - this class reminds me of the above saying. It was stated by Mark Weiser the father of ubiquitious computing and somehow I find that it has encompassed the meaning of this class in itself. I have seen in my research that people find it way easier to adapt to the useage of a Mobile phone than any other technology found in this century. The last known piece of technology that had taken all quarters of the world by storm was the Television and now it is the Mobile Phone.

I am looking to understand mobile penetration and then extending it to create services that cater to health care, microfinancing, education and so on.

By the way -

I'm Riddhima Shelat and my background is a melange of Information Technology, New Product Design and User and Design Research with ethnography. I have a samsung slide-phone, bought purely because I loved the design. It won the ID design award when it first came into the market. The carrier is T-Mobile.
