The advantages of mobile computing are, to say the very least, strikingly obvious. When you have a job that requires time both in a field and behind a screen, who wouldn’t want to combine the two and save time by simply performing crucial tasks from a mobile phone or tablet? While some may be put off by seemingly slower response times, or by the feeling that mobile technology isn’t quite ‘there’ yet on a functional level, however, IT industry trends all point to one thing; mobile technology is only going to get bigger. And to truly develop a business model that takes full advantage of the coming mobile wave, the time to invest is now.

In early May, Time Magazine published an article by reporter and business analyst Ben Barajan on the future of computing. The verdict? Every market indicator says that mobile devices, including tablets and smartphones, are the future.

Barajan’s logic comes from the following, simple analysis: while traditional computers can be shared among individuals and within companies, cell phones and tablets are truly ‘one per person’ items that are increasingly being seen as necessities all around the world. This immense market potential is driving investment in mobile technology, and rapidly developing computing power within this field, making doing business primarily, and even solely from your phone, more and more feasible.
Over the next five to ten years, a number of trends are predicted to emerge in the mobile computing field, but most experts certainly agree on the following:

I) In A Few Years, Everything You Do on A Computer, You Can Do On a Smartphone
This is almost true, already, and if computing trends continue to follow the increasing miniaturization of Moore’s Law, the notation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years, the gap should be eliminated soon for the average user.
This leaves the only advantage of computers as the interface, given the general preference of the public for typed material. Given advances in voice recognition technology, infrared keyboards, and beyond, even this advantage may be eliminated.

II) Smartphones Will Become Mobile Command Centers for Your Life
According to Senior Technology Editor for Slate Will Oremus, the latest trends in app creation and development show one thing; that everything is being integrated into the smartphone. Your phone, through an app, can become a device that replaces your TV remote, a platform from which you can monitor your personal health, or even a personal control for the settings around your house. What is noted is that, as technology changes, the attitude of the public changes, as well; people want to consolidate their lives onto a single device, and this includes business, as well. By embracing the advent of mobile supremacy, one can prepare for, instead of react to, coming changes in our culture.
