It is too cumbersome to go through long pages using
a set of arrow keys. We will need a recharge of patience if we wanted to watch a
movie preview on low speed mobile networks. We may be more comfortable with
something like this:
You are traveling back home, and recall you promised to take the kids for a movie
tonight. It's been a busy day and you couldn't buy tickets during the week. You
pull out your phone, and fire up the browser. You load up Google and do a search
for Harry Potter. It shows you a simple page with the movie title at the top, star
rating, and a three-line description of the plot. This is followed by a list of five movie
theaters around this location and timings at which they are showing the movie
tonight. You think your neighborhood buddy might be interested in the movie

as well. So you back out from the browser a bit and call him up to find out. He
confirms. You come back to the browser, and select the third theater by hitting 3 on
your keypad. Next, you enter the number of people and select the show??”again with
the numeric keypad. You get a confirmation screen to book the tickets, you confirm
by pressing a key on the phone.
