Here an app, there an app

Interesting research from Nielsen about the fast-growing consumption of apps in the U.S.: http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/?p=31891. We now spend almost as much time in apps as on the Web. I think we are moving through an epochal change in how we consume media and information.

Just a year ago, I could not imagine a day I didn’t open my laptop to get through the day — work, e-mail, Facebook posts, weekend plans, shopping, etc. I now can, and often will, do much of that on a phone and/or iPad. Dare I say, my snazzy MacBook is becoming an expensive dinosaur before my eyes!
