The Next Revolution: Smart Mobs (O'Reilly)

O'Reilly has an interview with Howard Rheingold on the topic of smart mobs. ""The people who make up smart mobs cooperate in ways never before possible because they carry devices that possess both communication and computing capabilities. Their mobile devices connect them with other information devices in the environment as well as with other people's telephones," he says. The result is a third computing revolution, after the PC and the Net, in which individuals once again have the power to put themselves together in collectives of their own choosing."
