• In the span of a decade, cell phones have spread to essentially every person and location on the planet.
• Less than half the devices accessing the Internet run on Windows, and the shipments of smartphones and tablets are now larger than the shipments of laptops and PCs. 
• Mobile technologies have been the "steroid" accelerating the push to social technologies, and this push is now spreading to the business. 
• We are only just beginning to understand the full impact of what it means to have location services attached to the actual device we use to deliver content and initiate processes.
• The spread of ubiquitous connectivity on consumer-centric devices has changed the nature of work and workplaces and what it means to collaborate in a business setting.
