The document discusses the evolution of technology from PCs to mobile devices, highlighting the significant increase in smartphone adoption, with projections that 5 billion people may have smartphones by 2020. It emphasizes that mobile devices have surpassed PCs in scale and have transformed how people access the internet, making mobile the primary means of online interaction. The shift to a mobile ecosystem signifies a new phase in technological innovation and productivity.

1. MOBILE
ATE THE
WORLD

2. The Universal
Technology product

3. Thirty years of the PC
From 9m units to 300m+ in three decades

4. Overtaken by a new ecosystem
Fundamental shift in scale - from 300m+ PC units a year to 1.5bn smartphones and growing

5. Mobile is the new scale
Mobile was always bigger than PCs, but separate, and not really part of the computing market. Smartphones
broke down that wall

6. (And tablets add a quarter-billion more)

7. 3bn modern computers
There are 3bn iOS and Android computers on earth and 2.5bn smartphones

8. The world in 2020
By 2020 perhaps 5bn people on earth will have a smartphone

9. An iPhone 6 CPU has 625 times more transistors than
a 1995 Pentium.
iPhone 6 launch weekend: Apple sold ~25x more CPU
transistors than were in all the PCs on Earth in 1995.
Everyone gets a pocket supercomputer.

10. Everyone gets a pocket supercomputer
Mobile takes computing to people hardly touched by technology

11. The first universal tech product
Mobile completes a journey from one computer on earth to a computer in every pocket

12. THE NEW ECO SYSTEM

13. Mobile is the new tech ecosystem
Tech moves forward by going from one ecosystem to the next, and each new ecosystem is a change
in scale. Mobile has the scale of everyone on earth

14. Tech moves in ecosystems.
Each ecosystem is the centre of innovation and
investment for that generation.
The ‘PC’ ecosystem played that role for 30 years: now the
‘mobile’ ecosystem takes over.

16. NEW PRODUCTIVITY

17. We all know mobile is bigger than PCs, just as PCs
were bigger than mainframes or workstations.
Eventually, PCs supplanted those.
How does mobile supplant PCs?
(Or is computing progress over?)

18. Computing in 1960
Everyone in this picture is an Excel cell – the building is a spreadsheet

20. Then they bought a mainframe

21. The toys get better

23. THE
INTERNET
MOVES TO MOBILE

30. Mobile is not a sub-set of the Internet
anymore.
Mobile becomes the Internet - the main way
that most people go online.
Saying 'mobile internet' = saying 'color tv'.

32. And on mobile , the
internet is different

33. For 20 years, PC internet mostly meant web
browser + mouse + keyboard.
Search (and later Facebook) dominated.
Mobile unbundles the web into apps, apps
into the OS (& other apps), breaks search.
From stability to rapid, ongoing change.
