The Mobile Web. Quote of the Day

George Siemens recently blogging about the mobile web:

 Is anyone really surprised at reports that show staggering growth of the mobile web? My office in Edmonton is close to the Alberta Legislature Building. Periodically, when the weather was nicer, I would stroll down to the Legislature to indulge in high-quality hotdog vendor food. The one common site was people staring into their phones. A few people could be found sitting under a tree reading a paper book. But the majority were on their mobiles (except for the kids in the pool). Mobile-centric lives, at least in North America, started with BlackBerry, and has since been amplified by the iPhone and Android devices. It’s only been a few years…and I’m already more attached to my mobile than my laptop.*
