DISADVANTAGES OF MOBILE COMPUTING 

Mobile computing also has its advantages. Some of which include mobile devices needing either WiFi or mobile network connectivity such as GPRS, 3G and even 4G in some countries because if a user is not close to any of these connections,access to internet is limited. Mobile VPNs are are unsafe to connect to and syncing devices might lead to security concerns . Accessing a WiFi network might be risky because WPA and WEP security can be bypassed easily. A fall back could occur in a situation where there is no power source due to the use of batteries in these devices and their ability not to last long. The World Wide Web encourages plagiarism since information can now be copied and pasted on their clipboards from websites. Also, the virtual comfort that the mobile computing device offers to its users contributes to their decreasing opportunities for human interaction. Lastly, mobile computing devices are much more expensive than most gadgets considering not every individual can afford it which makes it considered as a luxury item ans in time, a new age of materialism may be introduced to the present generation.
