Study: Mobile phones to be primary Internet device by 2020

Study: Mobile phones to be primary Internet device by 2020: "By 2020, mobile phones will be the primary Internet devices for most people in the world, according to a panel of experts, who also predict that Web technologies will probably not lead to increased social tolerance.
'The mobile phone -- now with significant computing power -- [will be] the primary Internet connection and the only one for a majority of the people across the world,' the Pew Internet & American Life Project writes in a new 'Future of the Internet' report. 'Telephony [will be] offered under a set of universal standards and protocols accepted by most operators internationally, making for reasonably effortless movement from one part of the world to another.'"
