Hi,
I just briefly glanced at the report and appreciated what seemed a balanced approach. I was a little diappointed not to find much about the social changes brought on by wireless technology. Much more difficult to measure, but also a "health" aspect of this technology is how it transforms time spent with friends, task management, and experience of physical surroundings.

Any reactions/links for these issues would be appreciated.

Michael.

PS: To put this in context, I am a researcher from MIT doing work now in Venice, Italy modelling mobile technology for tourists. One of the big issues we have confronted is how to design such devices so that they are useful at certain moments, but don't cancel out such joyful experiences as asking locals for directions/suggestions, general wandering, and experiencing the mystery of the place.
