Re: Mobile Mobile
Glad you enjoyed it--there is a implicit message in that we have to remember all we're blessed with here in the West--as others are not as endowed--although interestingly enough (despite all the challenges the Middle East has), it has a very vibrant tech sector--as Amazon just bought out Souduq.com (the leading E-Retailer...that was founded by a Syrian!!).  Truly interesting times....

Re: Mobile video moving fast
New generations are viewing content differently, and I don't think we've seen the end of that shift. 

Gone are the days when people sit around passively watching content. Today's consumer wants interactive experiences and I would expect to see much more of that.

Re: Mobile Mobile
As I was also thankful for the insights, I took a  moment to remind myself how thankful I am as I saw this from Lebanon:

New post on A Separate State of Mind | A Blog by Elie Fares

April Fools' Lebanon Style: We Were Promised Better Internet, We Got No Internet Instead

by eliefares



If you've ever wondered how a whole country can be without continuous internet for hours on end, including any form of mobile internet on our smartphones, look no further than the glorious Switzerland of the Middle East, the Democratic Republic of Lebanon, circa April 2017.

Leading up to this stupendous first day of April were promises of better internet by the end of March. Some people had already noticed their modems syncing at speeds that were, previously, only a far-fetched dream in the country.

As it stands, they're no longer a dream on April 1st, but probably an immense fantasy more grand than Harry Potter.

Even as they were adamant to deny the existence of any problem, as they usually do, even our mobile carriers had to admit that this whole business of you frantically trying to refresh anything on your phone to try and see what is up with your connectivity is not on you.



.... didn't even help fix things and I wasn't alone in my problems:



It turns out that Ogero, the supplier of all internet in the country, was doing some heavy testing which resulted in the entire country being taken off the grid, as per the tweets of Imad Kreidieh, head of Ogero:



Truth be told, Imad Kreidieh has been doing a tremendous job as the head of Ogero so far. If there's anything good to come out of this, it's how he has handled it: he didn't blame others for the problems of the institution he's running, he was clear about what was being done, and later on he tweeted the following:



I'm very genuinely taken aback by how professional Mr. Kreidieh is. Is he really a Lebanese person in a position of power? Maybe this is the actual April Fools' prank being played on us? Tawa Nicolas, the creator of this blog's iOS app, said it best:



It's not all bad though. I mean, think about all those MBs you've saved everyone! Here's hoping that on April 1st, 2018 we would actually have a country whose internet speed is not apparently:

This article brought up a few points I hadn't really considered. I personally watch a decent amount of video on my cellphone (mobile.) But I watch it at work, where I am using the computer and just like the background noise, or at home, while my kids are watching their shows on the television. (My shows aren't that kid friendly.) But the article made me see there are a lot of reasons someone might watch videos on their phones. I know a lot of people in London take public transportation. And anyone taking public transportation, particularly a lot, would like enjoy watching shows on their phones. Though this would probably also change something I really enjoyed about London, and that was that everyone was always reading. There were actually advertisements for books. So I have to wonder if the increase in mobile video watching is causing a decrease in people reading on public transportation in London, which would then likely also lessen the number of advertisements for books, particularly in areas of public transit.
