How has wireless technology changed how we think of public vs. private spaces?

Wireless technology and social media have allowed us to make public and private spaces, our own spaces. With the popularity of streaming services rising over the last decade, it’s very easy to do things like enjoying our favorite films and music whenever and wherever we want.  Ezinearticles.com says, “…Without doubt, mobile telephony offers enormous advantages and added convenience, greater personal security, and the ability to take advantage of ‘dead’ time to do business on the move…” Which I think is also a point to be made; the fact that most things that used to require its own device, now warped into one, also makes it easier for small businesses to flourish on their own. Wireless technology advancements make it so that individuals can be more autonomous in their own business, and personal endeavors. It’s blurred the lines between what’s really public and private.
