In the last post we talked about being engaged or enslaved to tech, here’s an example of taking control of your tech, using it wisely, and being quite productive with it:
…When you look at it from this perspective, it’s pretty easy to understand how always-connected handsets that provide a full-web experience are struggling to take off in emerging markets, and why Opera Mini has 46.3 Million users worldwide.
