According to the report SiliconRepublic, John Herlihy, Vice President of Global Ad Operations Google claims, in the next three years, the PC desktop is no longer relevant to be used.
The statement expressed in a speech at the conference Digital Landscapes, which took place in Dublin, Ireland.
"In Japan, most of the searches conducted today, took place in the smartphone, rather than on the PC," Herlihy said, as quotes from PC Advisor, March 18, 2010.
This Herlihy statement is a repetition of what had disclosed Eric Schmidt, Google's chief executive officer. When he mentioned that the giant search engine that focuses more on the mobile segment, not the desktop search. He also urged the application developer to do the same steps.
In his speech at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Schmidt showed that sales of smartphones and other mobile devices around the world grew very rapidly and will exceed sales of conventional PCs.
We have no doubt that the smartphone is a rising popularity around the world. According to the latest report the UN, nearly two-thirds of people around the world use the phone. And the mobile device revolution is still in the early stages of growth.
However, if the PC desktop will really end? At least, from the perspective of Google, the search engine company gets almost all its revenues through online advertising, technology, desktop PCs will be irrelevant.
