The Technology

• How has the technology moved on in 5 years?

“In five years, we’ve transitioned from keypad to touchscreen, from 2G to ubiquitous broadband, from social as an afterthought to social as an intrinsic part of the mobile web and to a world full of app stores. It’s impossible to predict the next five years, but imagine that mobile devices will continue to get faster, consume less power and slowly but surely supplant workstations and notebooks.”

Mobile Devices

“There will be more mobile phones on earth by the end of 2012 than people.”

“Tablet and smartphone sales are going to out run PC and laptop sales.”

“2012 will be the Year of the Mobile. As the world becomes more connected, begins truly global conversations, collaborates and develops colossal collective bargaining power, there will be pressure on businesses to deliver faster, cheaper and better.”
