IS MOBILE LIVING

Not since the heyday of the Internet boom
has a technology been so enthusiastically
embraced as mobile devices. Smartphones
have only been around since 2007, but their
rapid adoption by both consumers and global
industries have turned them into indispensable
everyday tools. Today, 100% of airlines are
investing in the mobile space.
