Hugo Serrano Barbosa Filho's Speech on "A Survey on Human Mobility Modeling"

In order to solve the crisis above, it is mandatory to review the pros and cons of different kinds of communications. Electronic communications are fast, they are cost-effective and quite convenient. However, these attributes enclose intrinsic disadvantages. The technology that helps people to keep on the go also may invade privacy and cut into valuable time meant for other social activities. Devices such as cell phones with mobility technology and portable computers facilitate communication at all times. This allows one to work and visit sites in public locations, such as trains and other social gatherings. This has enabled people to stop traveling long distances to work and may do so from home. The technology also encourages productivity, for instance, a person intending to

Diffusion: Diffusion is the phenomenon of a characteristic spreading over an area over time. Diffusion is essential for human interaction and globalization. Another type of diffusion is relocation diffusion, it happens when a people move due to political or environmental reasons. For example, the Pilgrim migration to the New World was relocation diffusion.

Relocation diffusion- the spread of an idea through the physical movement of people from one place to another.

Nowadays migration is getting to be one of the dominant characteristics of the modern world since at the present moment that movement of people and migration of citizens from one country to another become a norm. Not surprisingly that such unparallel and extremely high level of migration results in substantial demographic, ethnical and socio-cultural changes in many countries of the world.

There are many factors that have contributed to my social location. The main ones that come to mind are my social class, my racial background, and my education. All around us are people who come from different areas of the world, or same areas of the world with very different demographics.

Within mobility, it is an important aspect to understand how people work within their environments and even how they interact with others daily. Mobility is constantly measuring the migration process within a population. Many people migrate from neighboring countries and bring their culture with it. As people migrate to a new place, they teach others about their religions or even traditions.

One social location that influenced my live would have to be occupation. Working at a young age has made me a more responsible and independent person.

Although we are in a globalized and interconnected world, through mobile telephony, Internet and other gadgets of information technology, this does not mean that for people is a subsidiary or merely instrumental place where they want to live or work. It is perhaps one of the most important decisions. If it were indifferent location, on the assumption of a flat world by technology mobility, we would not be attending urban concentration that is occurring around large cities and that results in 2011 more than half of the population lives in cities and it is anticipated that by 2050 do about 70% of humanity.

Today, we can send information all over the world instantly; however movement and activities can be tracked through computers and cell phones. With new and improved technology, it can improve lives, increase public safety, build wealth and promote efficiencies in how we use scarce resources. Researchers,

In the first place, migration is influenced by geography. Human geography is the analysis of the interaction between humans and the environment around them. Throughout history, migration patterns have fluctuated based off of

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, the world has become a smaller place. The time used to travel to far distances has diminished; with the growth of new technologies, traveling and communicating have become simple daily tasks for many people. Through the growth of global communication, people have become closer to others across the globe, and business has gone world wide. One invention that came along with the technological revolution is the cell phone. Cell phones allow us to be reachable anywhere at anytime, letting us communicate even during travel. As time becomes more valuable for people, the importance of accessibility to communication also increases. With cell phones, the communication and

A cell phone is an electronic device used for the mobile telecommunication i.e. mobile telephony, data transmission and text messaging. It is used over a cellular network of specialized base stations. It differs from cordless telephones, which offers telephony service only within a limited range i.e. within a home or an office. As the time passes it offers more and more advance features. A society is a social, economical or industrial infrastructure, made up of collection of individuals. Although the members of the society may be from different ethnic group or from a particular ethnic group yet they live together for their mutual benefit. From the mutual relationship between the members of the society, the effect of anything on individual

The use of the transportation system has made life in the world simpler, since we depend on transportation to transport us to and from our daily operations. Today, in this world we can go anywhere we choose to, due to how transportation has evolved over the years starting from the wheel. Transportation has made the world a very comfortable to live in, but sometimes as humans we sometimes forget to appreciate the small things in life like transportation. Our time in life is very valuable, and transportation helps supports our valuable time by transporting us to different places at a faster speed. If transportation decided to abruptly come to an end, the world would end up in chaos, because without transportation this world would be a difficult place to live in. If people have no means of transporting them themselves in this world, how would they keep their job and find a job, in order to put food on the table for themselves and their families. If people in this world today, just all of sudden get sick, how would they be able to transport themselves to the hospital. If there is no transportation how people go into stores in buy food, clothes, medicine, and other necessary items that help them sustain health. Transportation is one of the reason, why so many of us have food on our refrigerator and tables at night and clothes on our back. In this world today, there are many sick children in this world that need our support, and transportation is one of the

Migration is the geographic movement of people across a specified boundary for the purpose of establishing a new permanent or semi-permanent residence. Along with fertility and mortality, migration is a component of the population change. These migrants comprise of the particular group of people who are landless labourers, seasonally unemployed labourers, agricultural labourers, poor farmers and the people who belong to a socially back ward classes. Migration has been a major source of human survival, adaptation, and growth across the centuries and millennia. Data reveals that internal migration is four times higher than international migration. And when it comes to internal

1.2 Todays’ modern world witnesses the redefined communication by the courtesy of improved technologies and availability of latest gadgets. As a result, majority of todays’ population has access to mobile phones and thus the world has become a global village. By virtue of the latest developments in the telecommunication field specifically, today any particular individual can be contacted with the mobile phone at the ease
