Year of the No Laptop
I’m going to echo Shawn’s prediction that this is the year of the no-laptop. Although the jesus phone has innumerable annoyances (how about letting me run more than one app at once without voiding my warranty?) the ushering in of the “real web” on mobile devices now makes using a mobile device the primary options not the fallback. There’s a shift from “oh you’re on your laptop? i’ll use my phone then” to “I’ll look it up using my phone even if there is a laptop around”. I’m having disorientating moments where I expect Safari on my laptop to auto complete a url when in fact I used my iPhone to look something up. I have a mental model that certain sites can only be visited with a laptop based browser but that’s all changing now.
