However, I ask you this question. Which would you rather do: Fetch your water from the end of your road, or give up your smart phone?

Four years from now, you might not have running water, but you’ll probably have a smartphone. This is the conclusion in Cisco’s latest forecast, the 11th annual Mobile Visual Networking Index (VNI).
