Mobile Internet has grown bigger than ever lately, and for the first time since the dawn of humankind there are now more mobile subscriptions than there are stationary ones here in Sweden. I don't like it at all.
For starters, it's not healthy. Sweden already has a MRL about 500 times higher than the allowed level in for example Spain. We are first in the world with 4G, we have more mobile masts than there are in all American states, but it's not something I'm proud of. Reports on cancerous side effects and other health problems caused by such radiation remains in shadow, the big multinational mobile conglomerates pave the way, they control the future. Everybody wants to go mobile, everyone but me it seems.
For those who don't care about expanding tumors in the nether regions of their brains, another downside to mobile broadband is security. Keeping your connection secure isn't easy, neighbors can steal your bandwidth and if they're educated enough they can hack into your system easily. The mobility allows for access through all and any nearby sources. Recently mobile phones, especially ones mimicking modern computers with all functions they retain, have started getting hacked.
Freedom, where is it? How can you be free if you can be reached dependless of current location? There's a socializing conflict out there; we are diving deep into social media and still trying to maintain traditional methods of communication on the side. I'd say it's at the brink of social overload, we don't need this. Twitter is good for marketing, it's good for posting updates, it's not good for personal communication. Facebook is a digitalized address-book, keep it that way. I don't care for checking email on a cellphone, I keep one in case of an SOS only, why have a computer if you don't use it? Why not start calling through your computer instead? Throw your cell away and be out of your cell today.
That's my thirty-five cents.
