Mobile Computing

Definition ∞ Mobile Computing involves the use of portable electronic devices for accessing data, performing calculations, and communicating while in motion. This encompasses smartphones, tablets, and wearable technology, enabling ubiquitous connectivity and access to digital services. It has fundamentally altered how individuals interact with information and technology.
Context ∞ The convergence of mobile computing and blockchain technology is driving the adoption of decentralized applications (dApps) and digital wallets on smartphones. Challenges include optimizing blockchain interactions for mobile device constraints and ensuring robust security. Future developments will likely focus on enhancing user experience and integrating more sophisticated dApp functionalities directly into mobile operating systems.
