Where do you use the internet on your phone? (UK, Q1 2014)
‘Mobile’ doesn’t really mean mobile
Mobile devices are used everywhere, not just when people are ‘mobile’
Source: Ofcom
For 20 years, ‘internet’ meant web browsers,
mouse and keyboard. Mobile ended that.
Half of all time spent online in the USA is in
smartphone apps.
Post-Netscape, post-PageRank.

Interaction models are totally unsettled
Rapid innovation and change continues
“I installed an app on my Android smartphone ”
“Installed” an “app”? Web apps,
APIs, push notifications, messaging,
Google Now…
“Android”? Chrome, Xiaomi…
“Smartphone?” Watches,

Mobile scale allows far more Amazons
Most tech is bought and paid for,
not used to create new businesses
10 years ago, AirBnB would have
sold software to Hilton
Uber would have sold software to
taxi companies
Scale of mobile, software mean the
opportunity is vastly bigger
More and more companies
following Amazon, Uber, AirBnB to
disrupt existing industries with tech
