Anything is becoming mobile : people, things, ideas, applications, processes. Whether this is based on a smartphone/netbook or whatever technology, mobile is at the heart of innovation.
Technology has made mobility possible : transportation systems, broadband connectivity, devices, batteries, mentality shift (the world is a big village), digital information. There are some limits : law of physics (my house is not mobile ;-)), smell and taste cannot be transported, etc. Maybe one day in the future, but not in the near term anyway. Belgium has installed a scientific lab on the South Pole. People need to be transported, digital communication needs to be activated, goods need to be transported. From the South Pole to the North Pole, we can transport people and goods in a day or so, but whatever is digital can travel in a matter of seconds.
