Last night’s ABC Nightlife program showed how the tech industry has changed in the last five years.
In 2009 the bulk of the conversation would have been about personal computers, laptops and viruses.
Last night, malware is still an important topic but almost all of last night’s listener questions were around smartphones and Tony’s questions were on social media.
That social media and smartphones were the main topics and personal computers — and Windows — were barely mentioned show just how the computer industry has shifted.
I don’t find this surprising at all. Smartphones and tablets have changed the way we interact with technology and Ericsson CEO, Hans Vestberg believes that by 2019, 90% of people over the age of age 6 will have mobile phones.
