Mobile Phones Predicted To Be The Primary Internet Devices

Desktops, laptops and netbooks all provide us with Internet access. Cellphones can do that too, but I'm to bet that a majority of you still don't use it as a browsing device. Sure, you probably use it to check email and open up your Facebook or MySpace acccount, but all-out Internet browsing? Probably not. The experts are saying that by 2020, it's going to be as common as the air we breathe.

“The mobile phone – now with significant computing power – [will be] the primary Internet connection and the only one for a majority of the people across the world,” the Pew Internet & American Life Project writes in a new “Future of the Internet” report.

Frankly, I can't picture it either. Sure, it's convenient and all, but the small screen and limited connectivity options prevent me from enjoying it completely. Of course, technological improvements can change all that. If networks expand to cover more areas and the costs go down, who knows? Maybe that's all we need to give this prediction a head start. Can you imagine using your mobile as your primary Internet browsing tool?
