Saral Mobile Sandesh (SMS)

Saral Mobile Sandesh (Hindi name for SMS) or SMS as people popularly call it. Just few days back at home, I had another experience with a simple technology like SMS. My father who is just a common man, non-techy and has never used a PC was using SMS to place his bid for an auction.

I was spell bound for a moment. I just said to myself, this is where the power lies in mobility. I believe strongly the next billion transactions will occur from these small mobile devices and not from the PC. It might take time but the volume coming from mobile devices will surpass the PC volume. But one has to take care, keep things simple (saral as we say in hindi). The moment one makes it hard, the engima dies.
