One of the Wireless Internet technologies on the near horizon
is Multimedia Messaging (MMS). MMS is an application that
uses a data call to a wireless device that delivers a message
capable of incorporating any of the following in an organized
and choreographed presentation:
• Pictures
• Data
• Text
• Audio
• Video
• Voice
Whereas SMS messaging typically uses a digital control channel,
MMS will be one of the first applications that make use of the
carrier’s higher speed data capabilities available in 2.5 and 3G systems.
MMS will take advantage of combinations of media to allow
users to communicate with more detail, emotion, and efficiency.
It’s important to understand how wireless mobility adds value to
multimedia by allowing the timely exchange of information.
MMS will be used to communicate in ways that even a digital
voice call can’t achieve. Though many of us have tried to
explain the sights and sounds around us while on a simple
voice call we can agree that the effect is poor at best. Just as
SMS will be the first nonvoice communications most of us
encounter, MMS will be one of the first 3G communications
we use in a wireless fashion.

TECHNOLOGY IMPROVES SOCIAL INTERACTION
It is easy to think that all this new technology will dehumanize
us all and shift the emphasis from communicating with people
to interacting with technology. But the reality is just the opposite,
because innovations such as the Wireless Internet allow
for more frequent and detailed social contacts.
The Wireless Internet will be used more as a social medium,
making complex interactions less dependent on face-toface
encounters. Technologies such as wireless email and
messaging help maintain contact while away from friends and
family and are very useful for arranging impromptu face-toface
interactions. There will be an evolution from using a
voice-only phone to using a 2.5G or 3G computing or handheld
device to send pictures, coordinate diaries, organize social
events, and play games.
People will also benefit from the multimedia presentation
of information. The inclusion of graphics, sound, and animation
as part of the information that users consume conveys
much more than text. In an age of macromedia Flash and MTV
today’s users may reject information that is not presented in an
interesting way.

LIFE TURNS DIGITAL
We possess increasingly more personal digital content—digital
photos and video clips, digital music clips, and even cherished
emails. (Admit it—you’ve saved more than one personal email
for no other reason that to read it over and over, you softie!)
The Wireless Internet will encourage the collection of a growing
amount of personal digital content. Some of the newer
wireless devices have already announced plans for MP3 players,
audio-recording capabilities, and built-in digital cameras.
We will soon have the tools to digitally capture and share
like never before. Just as the world was forever changed with
the adoption of the personal video camcorder. (As chronicled
by shows like America’s Funniest Home Videos—just imagine
what the future will bring. Anyone care to tune into America’s
Funniest PDA Audio Captures? Just think: You could actually
win a prize for recording those Dilbertesque comments your
boss makes in the weekly staff meetings.) 219

WIRELESS INTERNET— THIS TIME IT’S PERSONAL!
Our personal information is increasingly found in digital format—
pictures, letters, bills, receipts, videos—digital means it’s
easier to share not only content but the impact of content,
whether the content is informational, educational, entertaining,
or emotional.
Internet users today can create messages that incorporate
many media types: emails can include attachments of sound,
picture, audio, and pure data files. But let’s think about what
we would send and when we send it once we have the ability to
compose and send while mobile. In short, real-time distribution
will result in an increase in the quality and frequency of
communication.
