According to Google, the end of the desktop is nigh.
John Herlihy, European Director of Google's online sales, told audiences at the Digital Landscapes conference in Dublin that he believes desktops are going the way of the dinosaurs.
'In three years time, desktops will be irrelevant. In Japan, most research is done today on smart phones, not PCs,' Herlihy told a 'baffled' crowd.
'Mobile makes the world's information universally accessible,' Herlihy explained, according to SiliconRepublic.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt's articulated a similar stance at last month's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where he explained that Google is moving forward with a 'mobile first' mantra.
'It's like magic. All of a sudden you can do things that it never occurred to you was possible. The implication that has not been expressed here or in the industry now is Mobile First - the principal of everything being developed for mobile first,' Schmidt said.
