Internet Cultures - Focus - Changing the way we use the internet

Let's take a step back for a moment and look at how mobile devices changed he way we use our internet.

Comparing what we have now to back then, there are certainly changes. With 3.2 billion people now on the internet, it has become almost impossible to not live without a mobile device.

A survey conducted by the Bank of America, shows how important said devices are, with 91% of the of the participants saying smartphones are very important. But it is because of this, that we have come to an age where app development has become one of the highest demanding jobs in the technology industry.

That being said, has it really changed the way the way we use the internet? Without a doubt. With everything on our fingertips, the internet has become much more accessible and  has created a market for app developers.

That's it for now regarding this, more to come at a later time.
