Seamless connectivity is for more than online junkies

Automotive

As much as I’m not always enamored with sitting behind a computer all day, I find being off the grid annoying. Remember this email joke?

You know you’re an online junkie when you:
• wake up at 3:00 am to go to the bathroom and stop to check your email on the way back to bed
• rarely communicate with your mother because she doesn’t have email
• check your inbox. It says ‘no new messages,’ so you check it again 

Even though this joke circulated several years ago, it still strikes a chord. The big difference now is that there’s no longer a subculture of ‘online junkies.’ From the time we wake up in the morning to the time we go to bed, we all want to be connected — and that includes when we get behind the wheel. So to this joke I would add:

• resent driving because it means going off the grid

At QNX, we’re working toward a seamless experience where people can enjoy the same connectivity whether they’re texting their spouse from the mall or checking traffic reports while driving down the highway. See what I mean:
