      Gesture based computing is referred to as pointing device gesturing. In this sentence, numerous ways are provided to show the functions of this technology.
  • The first pointing device gesture, the "drag," was introduced by Apple to replace a dedicated "move" button on mice shipped with its Macintosh and Lisa computers.
  • Dragging involves holding down a pointing device button while moving the pointing device; the software interprets this as an action distinct from separate clicking and moving behaviors.

  • Unlike most pointing device gestures, it does not involve the tracing of any particular shape. Although the "drag" behavior has been adopted in a huge variety of software packages, few other gestures have been as successful.
  • A major drawback of current gesture interaction solutions is the lack of support for two necessary user interface design principles, feedback and visibility.

    NuMobile is a system that is being set up in Nairobi, Kenya. Its intentions are to run a wireless broadband network so local businesses can become more successful. If this project runs correctly, there is talk to set up one through out East Africa. NuMobile also plans to develop mobile computing because of the high number of people with cell phones, and also the difficulty of reaching rural areas with the broadband.

  • As the need to word process and save documents, create spreadsheets, write term papers, complete coursework, play games, send emails etc has emerged, and to carry out a host of other online activities such as shopping (EBay & Amazon leading the way), social networking, online studies, research, dating, online chat, gambling, stock market trading, visit news portals, auction web sites etc, we rely even more on mobile computing to assist us in carrying out these daily activities
  • Working from home or being able to take your work home and finish it off has clearly been made possible with the advent and increased reliance on mobile computing.
  • the temptation is (especially at these times of economic recession) to invest in one device that allows you to make your phone calls and still access the Internet on the move.

  • mobile computing devices become even cheaper and available with disk space storage ranging from hundreds of gigabytes to several terabytes, additional external disk storage devices, very impressive memory module sizes, processor power/speed etc, the obvious question that comes to mind is: are we witnessing the demise of desktop computers?
  • Desktop computers are bulky, take up more space, and as already explained, now compete with mobile computing devices in terms of processing power, disk storage, memory and cost. In most work environments, the need to take work home is certainly more of a norm than the exception in the ever competitive corporate environment.
  • The desktop computer is evolving to become the multimedia host at home and an entertainment centre.
