Pervasive Networking Today

With the way technology has grown over the past decade, not many could imagine how many ways we can communicate today. For the longest time the telephone was the only way we could communicate and we only had one of those in our homes for use. Now the cellphone has been revolutionized not only to talk but to access the Internet. This is an example of pervasive networking, a way of making communication available to everyone through different types of object we use.  The cellphone can be used for many different things besides the Internet which include: gaming, texting purposes, sending pictures, accessing apps through iPhone, etc.  The keyboard used for texting has made it easy to text, using the similar keyboard that we all use on our laptops and computers. Even reading now can be done using e-books that can be accessed online. The kindle is a hand-held device from Amazon that allows a person to read books on the screen. They can be purchased by Amazon at lower prices than normal books. One can't help but think that this type of technology could make publishing become extinct in the next 10 years. I really enjoy having this technology and being a part of this era we live in. These ways of pervasive networking will only continue to grow as we get older.  I do believe it is necessary because communication is important in every part of our lives.  Pervasive networking will continue to be essential as technology trends continue to grow.
