According to Tech Gurus Mobile Phones Will Be Primary Devices of the Future
Oct 23
Speakers at the annual Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, California have declared that the mobile phone will be the primary device of the future for those seeking to access the ever evolving features of the web. Major tech industry giants ranging from Google, Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft met with those from long term media giants like NBC and Hulu.com owner General Electric plus Comcast, the second largest broadband provider in the United States. Industry veterans were delighted to see the tech cycle for mobile devices is exceeding anything in the past with new and improved products hitting the market at a faster rate than any computers or other consumer electronics ever have. Even during what many are calling a global recession, the mobile phone industry and associated products such as accessories and software have seen no downturn in their sales, in fact experiencing a lift instead.
As consumers continue to upgrade theirĀ mobile phones, more advanced services and features are being added at a mind boggling pace. Broadband internet connectivity will play heavily into the future that these tech gurus foresee, allowing mobile phone subscribers to access their favorite television shows and even movies directly from their handsets. If PayPal is any indication, purchases will be a breeze by allowing consumers to make so-called micro payments of small amounts that are transferred from their accounts directly to vendors on the fly. With the advent of Twitter, mobile users are able to not only make rapid exchanges of communication, but actually search in real time as opposed to standard search engines that often encounter delays in updating their list of sites. All in all, mobile phones, according to those at the conference, are expected to be the keys to a coming digital future.
