Going “beyond a faster horse” to transform mobile devices Going “beyond a faster horse” to transform mobile devices
We are in the early stages of a mobile device revolution that is dramatically changing our lives. Mobile devices have become a digital extension of ourselves that we increasingly depend upon throughout the day. They are redefining how we communicate and socialize with others, learn about and navigate the world around us, capture life moments, entertain, transact business and much more. They are primary devices we depend on for our computing needs, and the first devices we often interact with when we wake up in the morning. We are witnessing the start of the next generation of computing that was dominated by personal computers over the past two decades.
