Christof on Tech & Biz

What I think about technology and business, especially with respect to the world's 'flattener' open source and the advance of object-oriented paradigms in computing, including in databases

UCC Commonplace in South Korea

It's these little things that make the difference. 

I am now in Seoul.  Within a few hours I ran across the term "UCC" twice, once in the main news on TV and once in my first business meeting with a few young entrepreneurs who are building an innovative e-learning site here.

UCC stands for "User Created Content", a term that most people back in the U.S. would not use in their daily conversation.  But here apparently it is.  I think it tells a lot about the degree of Internetization of this country, which is at the forefront of, I think, Internet access and mobile phones, worldwide.

Oh, talking about cellphones: I have just seen a small, nice and light cellphone which runs on GSM, CDMA, and Japan's JCDMA.  It's not 3G, it's cross systems!  It's from Samsung (Model SCH-V920) and can roam in 90 coutries.  More about it here.

Why the heck don't we have this in the U.S. or Europe? 

Sigh.
