McGuire’s Law

The Law of Mobility talks about value increasing with mobility. The impact of this law is being felt because the cost of adding mobility into products is falling, making it a no-brainer for mobility to be built into everything. Here are examples of technology advances enabling this to happen:

• Brighter, inexpensive displays
• Tiny digital camera auto-focus mechanism
• Cellphone operating systems
• Simplified user interfaces
• Clockless processors? (low-power, low-profile)
• Fuel cells (and here)
• Mobile device power management
• World-roaming data chipset
