Mobile communications and ubiquitous computerization are already beginning to change the ways of communication, labor and creative activities, trade, and management. Information technologies and their diverse impact on various spheres of society are the theme of the book offered to readers. In ten years, the author claims, based on numerous studies, observations and interviews, the main locations of the center of the Earth's population will be flooded with microcircuits capable of communicating with each other. People equipped with such devices will make up "smart crowds," and their communication will take on forms and opportunities unprecedented before.
