Abstract
In this concluding chapter, we recapitulate some of the issues, which we have discussed in this book and allow ourselves the luxury of some ‘visions’. Here and there too we indicate suspicions around problems, pitfalls and wrong directions in speculating about the future of mobile devices and technologies and mobile learning. It is not our intention to offer solutions or clear directions; it is too early to set out clear routes to possible futures. In any case, our intention has been, and is, to stimulate a debate – as informed as it is possible to be at this time – about the potentials of mobile devices in relation to a society’s educational needs, purposes and desires.
