MOBILE DEVICES
“A mobile device (also known as a handheld device, handheld computer or simply handheld) is a small, hand-held computing device, typically having a display screen with touch input and/or a miniature keyboard and weighing less than 2 pounds (0.91 kg)” (Mobile devices, 2012). Examples of mobile devices include PDAs (personal digital assistants), SmartPhones, and tablets because they are portable, light weight, and allow for multipurpose functionality. Furthermore, mobile devices serve the same purposes of computers [desktops and laptops].
Mobile devices are changing the way that individuals communicate and collaborate worldwide. Due to Internet access, users have instant access to information, and can easily access and share this information with others.
Note: I am including an article of how mobile devices are revolutionizing the business sector.

Additionally, I responded to Rachel (https://class.waldenu.edu/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp?tab_tab_group_id=_2_1&url=%2Fwebapps%2Fblackboard%2Fexecute%2Flauncher%3Ftype%3DCourse%26id%3D_967488_1%26url%3D) and Anetha (http://anethajaye7108.blogspot.com/2012/06/johnson-module-2-blog-links.html) blog posts, as these are my group members.
