More and more mobile devices

Cisco has published its Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast. It says the total number of mobile devices within five years will be more than the total population, and 2013 will be the critical point. Today I also find news saying that Apple are testing iOS running on smart watches. From all these news there is a obvious trend of possibility of expanding mobile devices, especially relates to wearable smart devices.

If people start to have more and more mobile devices then what the identity management will look like? Our mainly problem of dealing with individuals getting access to networks may turns to tokens such as watches. Like when I use laptop or iPad, I prefer to let the devices remember all my frequent accounts and passwords and just add passwords for those devices. Therefore maybe in the near future, my big problem of identity management is to remember all the passwords for my various mobile devices.

Too many gestures for one plane screen?

I could see the big benefit when you get familiar on gestures for mac from introduction videos. Maybe because I don’t have one, it’s just so hard for me to remember all those gestures and keep me wondering that are those really too many?

Here is an interesting experiment I read about turning iPhone’s gestures into quirky, touchable sculptures. In this case, several regular gestures for iphone are enlarged and rebuild in 3D form to give people a tangible feeling of those which just happen on a plane screen.

It’s a little annoying for me to operate everything just on plane material, like typing or pressing a button. I may need something more touchable to offer me better feeling of the real world. If it’s possible maybe some intangible stuff like identity management or password verification could be tried to be transformed into more tangible senses.
