Nowadays, we witness more and more cases of mobile Internet empowering people to connect with society, express themselves, and more importantly, find alternative means of income. For example, there are a whole new range of jobs that have been created due to mobile internet penetration. Globally, people share snippets of their daily lives and instantly earn a living simply by posting it online. Due to mobile internet access, there are also others who are able to work and do their business online and remotely.This new era has seen a thriving digital society and equally, an exponentially growing digital economy with mobile internet at the center. However, with the unprecedented opportunities mobile internet brings a new set of dilemmas: · From the perspective of culture--The world is connected more than ever but the same technology has also disconnected us from our identities. Culture is withering away by the fast-paced advancement of technology. How do we assess what is more important? From the perspective of economy--The world has gone digital with practically all parts of life seemingly easily accomplished online but what about the other 4 billion people who were offline in the era of fixed Internet? Is mobile internet helping them or causing them more harm? From the perspective of society--Mobile apps have vastly changed the way we live, with connected devices becoming our smart assistants and helping us with menial tasks. But with the onset of these advancements, how can industries cope with the possibility of mass unemployment, privacy issues, etc.? From the perspective of culture, economy and society--This panel will discuss how innovations can leverage mobile internet to drive an inclusive digital economy and society.
