Smartphones and tablets, the number of accesses in the network of the pc: the October revolution is mobile – The Republic

THERE ARE times when the internet is the history and this passing is just one of these: for the first time – in October – there have been multiple accesses to web pages from mobile devices than those from desktop and laptop computers. In short: smartphones and tablets (51.26% of accesses) most of the computers (48,74%). A revolution – the mobile – which is now accomplished. Of course, the leap forward was expected by the workers to the work considering the steep decline in sales of the computer from several months to this part and, given that already a year ago, searches on Google from mobile have exceeded those made by the computer. For sure no, just some handful of years ago, could have imagined that everything would happen so quickly. Just to give you an idea: in 2010 the share of smartphone and tablets on a global level was stopping at 2,94% against the 97,06% of the desktop world.

But now there is this month of October 2016 to mark in red on your diary, with the study of StatCounter – company analysis of web traffic based in Dublin – that has made the big leap. By providing figures that suggest many reflections, some of them are even unexpected. Such as the one related to the so-called markets of emerging countries: in India, for example, 78% of web access comes from mobile, the 21,18% by the computer and the tablet are almost non-existent: 0,76%. The boom of the connections from mobile in India is explained by the fact that now even smartphones that cost very little will give you the chance to browse and enjoy effectively web services. Then why buy a computer that costs more and is less practical? “These data should be used as a stimulus, above all for small companies and professionals, so that their sites are “mobile friendly,” explains Aodhan Cullen, ceo of StatCounter. “And many of the old site s still aren’t”.

StatCounter – that its has a sample of all respect, having analyzed 15 billion page views of about 2.5 million web sites all over the world – write down how in contrast there are the so-called traditional markets: the United States, where the computer commands even with the 57,97%% of accesses against a cabinet, which stops the 33,33% and the tablet 8.7%), France (70,43% pc, 22,96% mobile and 6.6% tablet), Italy, where the computer (64%) still exceeds smartphone (30%) and tablet (5,7%), Great Britain (55,6%, 31,39%, 12,99%) and Spain (55.6 desktop, 38,24% mobile, 6,16% tablet). But the road is traced, and this October the web does not give at all the idea that one day we can reverse the trend and return.
