Human desire to keep on communicating bulldoze constraints of time and space in turn trigger an attempt to create a tool to bridge the limitations of earlier. The codes are transmitted in the conventional form of simple visual and sound that still leaves human dissatisfaction remote communication (tele-communication), effectiveness and efficiency of the smoke, sound, sign of morse, certainly not yet enough. Jump skip the age, and found the telegraph to the appearance of the phone (cable) ago cordless phone which then called the cell phone (mobile phone) is then transformed into revolution. These evolution then became revolution of functions and capabilities that are owned by the cell phone. The sophisticated of mobile phone technology finaly push it not just as a phone but far beyond that, also its additional functions. Which should be recognized and taken into account is the impact of which was carrying was also becoming more sophisticated.Hasrat manusia untuk tetap dapat berkomunikasi melibas kendala batasan ruang dan waktu pada akhirnya memicu usaha untuk menciptakan alat untuk menjembatani keterbatasan tadi. Kode-kode yang dikirimkan secara konvensional berupa visual dan suara yg sederhana masih menyisakan ketidakpuasan komunikasi jarak jauh manusia, efektifitas dan efisiensi pada asap, bunyi, tanda morse, tentu belumlah cukup. Sedikit melompati masa, lalu ditemukan telegraf hingga kemunculan telepon (kabel) kemudian telepon tanpa kabel yang kemudian disebut ponsel (telepon selular). Evolusi ini kemudian berubah revolusi fungsi dan kemampuan yang dimiliki oleh ponsel. Kecanggihan teknologi mendorongnya menjadi selain fungsi bukan hanya sekadar telepon tapi juga fungsi tambahannya. Kesadaran dan yang perlu dipertimbangkan adalah dampak yang dibawanya pun juga semakin canggih.

Complex Picture

Recent statistics about the mobile phone market in Brazil state that for every 100 inhabitants there are 130 mobile phones. Despite the euphoria that those numbers bring to business, the social uses of mobile technology in Brazil tells a lot about Brazilian society and culture itself, and show a more complex picture than merely a marketing phenomenon. The authors examine subversive cell phone use in Brazil against the background of the cell phone use worldwide and the social implications of that cell phone use. As soon as a technology is implemented in a culture, it is possible to observe uses that were not intended by the inventors or producers of that technology. People create different strategies to take advantage of the new resource. Using social interaction theories and an ethnographic approach in the natural setting of cell phone use in Brazil, the authors observed how people use the mobile phone technology for interpersonal communication. This chapter addresses three subversive uses of mobile technology, namely, i.) strategies of mobile phone coding; ii) SIM card management; and iii) criminal uses of mobile phones.

The Impact

Voluntariness in technology adoption and use is vital in promoting technology diffusion and use in organisations. Various technology adoption models have been proposed to explain the adoption of technologies in different settings, such as organizational and individual, as well as in the voluntary and mandatory contexts. Recently, uptake of mobile phones in achieving organisational targets has been increased in developing countries and Tanzania in particular. This is due to the notable improvements in both hardware performance and sophistications. In organisation context, not all users are willing to use technology as required. In such circumstances, they are mandated to use it in order to fulfil their working duties. This leads to poor uptake of technology and results to unclear understanding regarding to their attitudes towards using it. While some studies have discussed the impact of voluntariness in using traditional desktop computer systems and thin client computing, mobile phone technology has not received the deserved attention. Discussing voluntariness in using mobile phone technology in organisations in relation to other technologies is essential especially due to its usage in both working and private purposes. This paper describes the voluntary aspects of using mobile phones in performing activities of the firms in Tanzania and compares it with desktop and thin client technologies. Also, it proposes possible ways of handling such situation in order to improve its use. Among others, the paper has analysed mandotoriness on usage of mobile technology. Further, it highlights key areas which should be addressed in order to improve the usage of mobiletechnology in organisations and eventually cover the gap caused by such mandatory situations.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to analyse the effect of the mobile phone penetration rate on inequality in Western Balkan countries and to provide empirical evidence. We explore the question of whether cell phone diffusion helps to decrease inequality and whether it has a positive income equality effect. In the developed conceptual framework, we consider that people with access to mobile telephony also have access to Wi-Fi and GPS and that individuals can perform different activities, such as engaging in e-commerce, e-governance, health, and education; paying bills; saving money; and transferring money to other persons. This represents a good foundation for poor persons exit the cycle of deprivation and leads to the development of equal opportunities. We analyse the impact of mobile phone penetration on inequality in Western Balkan countries by using ordinary least squares and two-stage least squares models (Asongu, 2015). Our results confirm the income-redistributive effect of mobile phone penetration.
