    An example!

    From a telecom client event titled "A Glimpse at Our Wireless Future"

    "All of us are immersed in a data cloud that envelopes us, where-ever we go and whatever we do. And the world of wireless promises to become even more fascinating in the years to come. Futurist Jim Carroll takes a look at what happens in a world of ubiquitous wireless. He examines such ideas as "swarm computing," wherein tiny "wireless dust motes" provide logistics information, product tracking and inventory management capabilities. He takes a look at the lifestyle and business implications of a nomadic workforce, helping us to think about the structure of the corporate organization of the future. He takes us on a voyage into the electronic cottage of tomorrow, one that involves a unique marriage of digital audio and video servers to wireless home transmitters. And more!"
