There are simply times when being content with today’s technology is not enough to fascinate the mind. Despite all the already impressive and innovative products and services that are already available, we all cannot help but look forward to what else may come in the future.

As interesting as the exercise may be, Google UK’s head, Matt Brittin, believe that there should be a line between fantasizing and predicting, because according to him, anyone who tries to predict the industry trend beyond the scope of a year is going to be “dramatically wrong”.

The man has a point, looking back on the past year alone, Apple has managed to come out with a tablet, a smart phone that sold over 1.7 million units despite having a major defect and have created an empire based on their iBrand alone. Google has also had its share of major milestones with the release of the new Google Android updates and of course, their very own phone. In between all of these are the birth of Street View, the adaptation of augmented reality by many phones and several other innovative achievements.

But one that Matt has not trouble predicting is the trend of using mobile phones to access the internet. They are small, compact, easy-to-use and are always available. Unlike the desktop computer or even a netbook that has to be set down before using, a smart phone is ready any time of the day –provided that the user is in a location with a good WiFi or 3G signal.

Each year, the number of people using desktop computers for accessing the web is decreasing. Even front end web designers are starting to see the trends and the need to establish new website layouts that fit in the smaller resolution screens of mobile phones (as well as sites that have smaller loading times and less bandwidth consumption) are becoming the next big thing.
