REAL TIME ADDS VALUE
Remember the last time you went to a concert or show? Let’s
assume you have one friend who would have enjoyed the show
but wasn’t able to attend: The longer you wait to tell him about
it the less you will remember and the less emotion you will feel
about the event. As time passes, you’ll have a reduced ability to
recall the event details.
Now imagine that you could share images, sounds, and
your thoughts in text in almost real time. Ever watched a live
TV show? The value of sharing events while the event is occurring
is apparent on TV. Wireless multimedia messages won’t be
TV, but they will be more like a short commercial—images,
sounds, and text combined to communicate with detail,
efficiency, and emotion and to allow the person on the other end
to better understand you. 223
