mobility in Thailand
|
It has never been unusual here to see young and old, male and female alike running computer and mobile shops (or my favourite—elderly ladies sitting behind a mall booth avidly playing Game Boy This trend doesn’t seem to be going away and what it seems to mean for mobile is that these devices are likely being used much more fully than they often are back home; where many adults don’t know how to change their battery let alone take the device apart to replace a worn keypad or install new software.
As well, as in many Asian nations, there is a strong focus on knowledge (often through ICTs) as a way to improve your life and career prospects. The new Paragon mall downtown includes a whole “Edutainment” floor, mostly devoted to helping children compete socially and professionally in life. They offer ballet lessons, piano, art, phys-ed for toddlers, kids cooking classes, language classes (not just English but Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, French etc.) computer classes (3D, animation, design, movie making) maths and science tutoring and in many of these courses, there is an ICT related component. Obviously some of these services are only affordable to upper or middle-class consumers but even in smaller neighbourhood malls or towns, you usually find a choice of lower priced alternatives.
