Transformation…
• …to change people or things completely, especially improving their appearance or usefulness
• …to convert one form of energy to another
“We are in the middle of a revolution in how knowledge is created, transmitted and organised that is of similar significance to that which followed the invention of printing.”
~ Seb Schmoller

When Martin Cooper invented the mobile phone 35 years ago, he envisioned a world with people so wedded to wireless connections that they would walk around with devices embedded in their bodies.

Objections from educators
...they are distracting and disruptive. The phone becomes
the focus of attention,inappropriate images/videos
can be taken and sent, leading to invasion of privacy and loss
of teacher control! cc S

‘Squeeze’ text
The competition was for re-writing the Lord's Prayer for the mobile phone, using just 160 characters or less. It was judged for Ship of Fools by the Churches' Broadcasting Conference. The task itself was not easy. The traditional version of the Lord's Prayer is 372 characters long, so whittling it down to 160 characters meant cutting the prayer by more than half but without losing anything important.
