Great infographic. I find the growth in mobile app adoption (9 days to 1m users!) and worldwide 3G penetration especially interesting.

Thanks for sharing!

I see Desktop still ruling over mobile for the next 10 years or so. However, that doesn’t mean that were not going to factor mobile viewports in our plan to redesign our website. In fact I already plan for a one-szie fits all strategy to ensure we cater to all current & future devices.

Purchased computers within a short timeframe !== a 3 decade old pre-established base of desktop PC’s. Those recent purchase firgures don’t mean tablets or devices overshadow desktop usage at all; in fact, of all the devices on the internets, tablets and phones are still a single percentage figure.

Desktop computing is an old phrase I think we need to look at is like mobile browsing and effectively static browsing experiences should be different and actually will work better differently. When your on the go you don’t want the same level of contextual detail and actually serving better more defined content like I’ve done on http://www.reynoldsdigital.com you can actually leverage the traffic better. Love the infographic, really great way of getting it all across in one poster!

Interesting infographic. However, I don’t think mobile internet would takeover desktop internet. These are two completely different things and it is still easier to surf on a computer than on a mobile device. I think mobile internet is complimentary to dekstop internet. They are not rivals.

I’m not sure you can conclude “desktop computers are on their last legs” from this information. First it’s an infographic not a study. Second just because people are using mobile more doesn’t have to mean desktops/laptops are not also being used. I think for the kind of computing most people do mobile use is growing, but for people who work with computers as their job, mobile doesn’t replace larger more powerful devices. Even people who use laptops for their work plug them into monitors because of screen size issues. All I’m saying is please don’t leap to conclusions based on an infographic.
