Cellphones, wireless will drive "connectivity" everywhere

If there was any question that cellphones and wireless technology will drive "connectivity" everywhere, consider these handmade wooden "cellphones" from Mozambique (post in BoingBoing, picture from Peter Vessenes on Flikr). Cellphones are the definitive humanity-wide cultural artifact of the 21st century. Just as PCs moved computing into every home in the developed world and then the internet connected those PCs, wireless devices will drive connectivity through the rest of the world. They are arguably the most important development force since the "green revolution" of the 60s. See my previous post for more information on just how pervasive a force handhelds will be.
