The digital, wirelessly connected world that is still being built all around us. I see the new wireless technologies are making much office space in cities redundant. If you go into corporate offices today the private offices are closed and dark; the workers are out in hotel rooms or on the move. The wireless laptop culture is increasing the value of sit-down space just like this. Unassigned space, what used to be thought of as non-productive space, is actually where all the real action happens." The classic example is the coffee bar.

Mobile phones have become intimately a part of ourselves that they anchorus into the information society's digital infrastructure. New wireless technologies hold up the promise of navigating our way through cities in exciting new ways. Today's hand-held devices can be seen as extensions of the human body. This transformation has, in turn, changed our relationship with our surroundings and with each other.

In Me++The Cyborg Self and the Networked City William J. Mitchell says:

the unbelievably intricate diagram of Internet interconnectivity has become the most vivid icon of globalization. Now you get access by typing in your password, and IT managers dissolve the perimeters between organizations by merging their network access authorization lists. Today the network, rather than the enclosure, is emerging as the desired and contested object: the dual now dominates....Extension and entanglement trump enclosure and autonomy.Control of territory means little unless you also control the channel capacity and access points that service it.
