• The ‘back to basics’ nature of SMS one of the main keys to its success
– Cost, convenience, immediacy, privacy, ubiquity
– Begun a change from a voice-based use of mobile phone into multifunctional device
• The future prospect difficult to predict
– What are seen as limitations could as easily be viewed as benefits

• Productivity is regained once the user has learnt how to use the technology effectively – has adapted

• Look at today to predict tomorrow
– “Shine a light on the road in front”
• Behaviour change within a shifting landscape
• Futurology is NOT about 10 year predictions…
• …but, identify trends that will shape behavior 3 – 5 years out
– Constant revision
– React to disruptive shocks (e.g. iPad)
– Plan for change!
