| − | Whether for entertainment, work, or communicating with family and friends, there are countless reasons our society is becoming increasingly dependent upon mobile technology. Mobile platforms, such as phones, tablets and other devices, now play an increasingly critical role in all areas of life and society around the world. As a result, the interest in mobile technology design and research is greater than ever.

| − | "Mobile-first" is a way of approaching technology design that flips typical design strategy on its head by prioritizing mobile platforms over desktop platforms. In doing so, developers have to innovate within unique constraints of mobile platforms while making the most of the unique capabilities of mobile technology. Mobile technology can improve how to receive, with limited bandwidth, large amounts of constantly changing data and how to process it rapidly, securely, and more effectively by using platforms designed specifically for mobile devices.
