•Decide whether or not mobile computing and wireless computing are synonymous. Provide at least two (2) reasons to support your assertion and justify your response.
Mobile computing and wireless computing, while have similar interfaces are not necessarily synonymous. Mobile computing is a type of computing which uses Internet or intranet and communications links, as WAN, LAN, WLAN, and wireless is a subset of mobile computing. Mobility includes, smartphones, tablets, carputers (computers installed in automobile!).
The foundation of any network is some sort of pathway for digital data (bits) to move back and forth between connected agents. Cables, ranging from coaxial to optical, have long dominated this realm. However, wireless is increasingly emerging as a viable alternative to direct physical connection (Stanford University, 2003). Wireless includes many various mediums such as AM, FM, HD and SiriusXM radio. Broadcast and satellite TV, and most, if not all, internet access and cellphones, are now wireless.
