It seems these days that our home phone lines have gone the way of the dodo. Nearly everyone I know has a cell phone and most of them have used theirs to browse the Internet, watch some videos or download a ring tone or two.
The future of the Internet is undoubtedly mobile. According to the PEW Research Center, 62% of Americans have accessed the Internet away from home or work, 42% of those Americans specifically used their mobile phone. “People’s growing reliance on their cell phones, together with wireless internet access from laptops, suggests a shift in expectations about cyberspace,” said John B. Horrigan, Associate Director of the Pew Internet Project and author of the report. “For many people, access to digital information and resources is an ‘always present’ utility for answering questions and documenting what is going on around them through photos or video recording.”
This means convenient access to information whenever you want it wherever you are. With nearly every cell phone offered through any carrier being Internet capable, and with access to mobile friendly search engines like Yahoo and Google, it’s almost silly these days to claim, “I don’t know” anymore. Using your cell phone you can look up facts, movie showtimes, song lyrics, maps, books, and a plethora of other information.
