The document discusses how mobile technology can be used for good in various areas including education, healthcare, the environment, and helping those in need. It provides examples of how mobile apps and connectivity have helped museums make their collections more accessible, enabled open online universities, assisted with disaster relief in Haiti, and allowed impoverished individuals to create small businesses. The document argues that even companies not focused on social good can still contribute by partnering with non-profits to help them communicate their mission and develop supporting mobile technologies.

passionate and deep in the day to day,
that is hard for them to prioritize
communication and clearly articulate their
voice to others.
