Speed of development and why this means we have to build mobile into our strategies Mobile growth: 2 Already comScore are suggesting that PC this year will cease to be the focus of web interaction: “When personal computers were invented, adoption occurred 7 times faster than that of TVs. Adoption of mobile devices is occurring 8 times more rapidly than even that of the web” (Mary Meeker) For Macmillan the effect of this was: an increase in the mobile traffic from 3% in Sep 2010 to over 45% today “comScore has been preparing for a future scenario where most people will consume content on the go and PCs would no longer be the centre of the digital universe. This future is quickly becoming a reality”
