But what are the consequences of this global trend?
And what can we learn from each other?
Mobile roaming Data per country

Mobile + Web2.0 offers (informal) learning and per definition intrinsic motivation
Informal learning + (personal) content production + community
= mobile knowledge exchange
Social Media gives everyone the means of production - Harold Jarche
Think about the Zone of Proximal Development that was mentioned by Lev Vygotsky to put mobile community learning into a learning theory.
Informal learning: definition by Jay Cross
Mobile device ≠ 1 user

Connecting to peers within other (similar) communities
You within your global digital peer network

Web2.0 = personal & collaborative growth
"A single ant or bee isn't smart, but their colonies are. The study of swarm intelligence is providing insights that can help humans manage complex systems, from truck routing to military robots." National Geographic
learning is a process of becoming something (Stephen Downes on How the Net Works).
Wisdom of crowds
The world is coming together right now.
