Mobility is the ability in which something is moved from place to place, from "point A" to "point B."

Background

Before advancements in technology, the only way an individual was able to consume media was by traveling to the places that provided it.[1]

This all changed with the development of microprocessors and wireless technology.[2]
As a result of these changes, media is now able to travels with us, allowing us to access books or music, for example, without having to go to a book or music store. [3]
