In just a few years from now, more people will be accessing the Internet through wireless devices than through the use of wired computers at home or the office. The flexibility, convenience and sophistication of wireless technology is great for consumers. But finding skilled wireless workers to design build and maintain all this new technology is a real problem for employers attempting to surf the wireless wave.
Wireless is where it's at
The wireless industry is booming because wireless technology is the ideal way to connect to the Internet. Consumers are checking stock quotes and email, buying movie tickets, making reservations for dinner and scheduling drinks afterwards, all from their wireless devices, and all without talking.
Yes, you can still talk on these phones. But the new generation of wireless phones has computer capabilities which cell phones do not possess. A small keyboard, a larger computer display screen, and a built-in web browser are standard on many of today's wireless "devices."
This technology is being driven in part by marketing, which is telling consumers they can do or get anything from their wireless devices. In Japan, consumers actually walk up to vending machines, input information into their phones, and the machine in front of them pops out a soft drink. Or imagine walking down the street, tired from shopping, and your wireless phone automatically alerts you to a relaxing corner coffee shop where you can rest your feet and get your thoughts together.
Features such as these have created a boom in customer demand for wireless services. Plus, wireless systems must still handle the large amount of voice traffic that consumers will still be generating. As more and more new wireless applications are developed, more and more information is being piled on the wireless systems.
