The Smartphone Revolution

Many people think the vision of everyone having a computer or laptop worldwide in the future is overrated.

Though we are oblivious to the fact that one billion people on this earth have a phone, we must take into consideration the amount of people that have smart phones.

Smart phones are equipped with the same capabilities as a computer. Smartphones can send and recieve emails, scroll the net, store information, and run programs just as computers do. So what is the difference? Pretty much size, storage space, and processor speed.

It is projected that in the oncoming years a smartphone (typically an android) will be in the hands of everyone worldwide. Eric E. Schmidt, who is the chairman and former chief executive of google says, " The smartphone revolution will be universal and a mobile experience to be available to almost everyone at a fraction of the price. If Google gets it right, there will be an Android in every pocket, and at the current growth rate, it is certainly possible.”

Only time can tell. However, at the rate Google and their callaborator Android are moving they can be very, "Instrumental in changing how the world works and how technological innovation happens."
