This ground-breaking analysis of the impact of mobile intelligence, the fifth wave of computer technology, argues that the changes brought by mobile computing are so big and widespread that it's impossible for us to see it all, even though we are all immersed in it. The author, CEO of MicroStrategy explains that the current generation of mobile smartphones and tablet computers has set the stage to become the universal computing platform for the world. In the hands of billions of people and accessible anywhere and anytime, they are poised to become an appendage of the human being and an essential tool for modern life. With the perspective of a historian, the precision of a technologist, and the pragmatism of a CEO, the author provides a panoramic view of the future mobile world. -- From publisher description
