Humans first migrated to North America over the Bering Land Bridge around 12,000 years ago, gradually populating the Americas as nomadic hunters and gatherers. As some settled down to farm and adapt to their environments, cities began to emerge in locations determined by surrounding land and resources, such as Montreal on an island at the confluence of two rivers, and Los Angeles which sprawled due to mild weather and available land. Waterways like the St. Lawrence Seaway connected the Great Lakes for trade but also introduced invasive species.
Mobile commerce generated $2 billion for eBay in 2010 and mobile web orders increased Papa John's sales by over $1 million in less than six months. Mobile traffic to Costco's website increased by 1400% and mobile commerce is expected to grow 875% over the next five years. Yahoo and Bing saw a 74% year-over-year growth in mobile searches per month, totaling over 650 million. Mobile searches are generally shorter and less brand-specific than desktop searches.

Mobile search peaks at night while desktop peaks at noon. Entertainment
