26 Modern Mobilization Methods
Mobile Innovations, from Mobile Hotel Pods to Traveling Work Spaces:
Ryan Hinkson — May 26, 2010 — Eco
In today's fast-paced world, sometimes we need our destinations to meet us halfway. We also seem to enjoy being able take objects along with us, that in the past would have been far too cumbersome. I'm not talking cell phones or PDAs here. This cluster of modern mobile innovations is packed with newly mobilized products and places. There are mobile kitchens, mobile boutiques--even mobile treehouses. Moving through this post will introduce you to even more modernized mobile innovations such as mobile hotel pods and traveling work spaces.
