With all the hype surrounding Google Glass, Dick Tracy watches and curved phone displays, it makes me wonder what the future of mobile computing is going to be. It’s obvious that smartphones are not quite as “smart” as they used to be. Standard phones continue to disappear (Nana has an iPhone) and so-called smartphones have taken over the coveted title of “phone”. The line that separates smartphones from tablets is thinner than the devices themselves. So, then, what’s next? Wearable technology seems to be the obvious progression of mobile computing. It is soooooooooooo 2010 to reach into your pocket and pull out a square clunky device to check your e-mail…
Sadly, internet access from your watch, glasses, or iShoes, means more of an attack surface for malware writers and the like. It won’t be long before ‘patching your shirt’ has nothing to do with a needle and thread. The Internet of Things is growing and everything we own will have an IP address along with software to patch. It’s this endless exposure that demands a risk based approach to IT security rather than the secure everything approach that just isn’t feasible anymore.
In any case, I’m excited to have a little face time (literally) with Google Glass over the weekend. I’ll summarize my opinions on the topic sometime next week.
I couldn’t agree more … the idea of locking it all down is done and over with. We need to be ready in very different ways. As our students return they will bring with them new devices purchased over break — and each one of them will want to attach itself to our network. Even the wearables want Internet access … and need it to be truly useful. We live in amazing times!
Yes, we do! Yet, the attacks we defend against are just old techniques reimagined and slightly modified. Despite that, there is more “success” to be had in getting unauthorized access because the attack surface is so wide. With great power comes great responsibility!

How true that is! Hard to think that the smart phone might some day be extinct.
