I’ve already written a post about my ill-fated trip to the North to watch Watford play at Chesterfield, a day that would’ve been dramatically different had mobile phones been around then.
Now they’re here and everything’s changed.
I reckon it’s worth kids in Britain knowing how people their age in other parts of the world use mobiles. My kids were baffled to hear that China blocks most of the big social networks that we’re used to here, for example, and that many people in China use WeChat (owned by Tencent, the fifth-biggest company in the world, and with one billion daily active users). Then there’s things like farming: smartphones used to control irrigation, for example.
And a lesson on some apps that might actually help kids would be good, such as those used for banking, healthcare and travel, and how to get a better deal from mobile providers.
