A MOBILE WORLD takes a comprehensive look at the current digital revolution and the growing concerns over the everwidening digital divide. Crossing the globe, the filmmakers interview industry professionals on the leading edge of the technological revolution, as well as prominent sociologists who believe the telecommunications boom will further widen the gap between developed and developing nations.
From Africa's Ivory Coast, where owning a cellular phone is still a practically unaffordable luxury, to Helsinki, Finland, birthplace of Nokia and Ericsson, where 6 out of 10 people own a mobile phone, this film offers a fascinating and informed assessment of the information age.
