Michael Saylor examines mobile intelligence as the fifth wave of computer technology. The MicroStrategy CEO argues that mobile computing creates changes so vast and pervasive that people cannot grasp their full scope, despite living within this transformation daily. Saylor contends that smartphones and tablets have established themselves as the world's universal computing platform. These devices reach billions of users at any location and moment, positioning mobile computers to function as human extensions and necessary instruments for contemporary existence. Saylor combines historical perspective with technological precision and executive pragmatism to survey the emerging mobile landscape. He demonstrates how products, businesses, industries, economies, and society face permanent alteration as mobile technology reshapes everything. The book serves as a navigation tool for individuals, business leaders, and public officials who must operate within this transformed environment where mobile intelligence affects all aspects of life.
