The Web Everywhere
The Web is growing, fast. Today your Web experience isn’t just limited to your desktop computer at home or at the office. Now you can access the Web from your living room, pocket, on the plane or train — any device with a screen.
This growth in access is bringing new users who work in different ways to the Web. Using the Web on a mobile phone in Western Europe is an adjunct to traditional access, but in India or Japan it is a primary means of access and changes the way people expect the Web to work.
This talk will look at innovations in making the Web available, and some of the changes that this can bring.
