PARIS, France \u00e2\u20ac\u201d According to the annual study by Ipsos Insight called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Face of the Web,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d mobile phone browsing is globally revolutionizing the way people view the Internet. The boom of cheap mobile phones, coupled with faster wireless networks has fueled its growth.<\/p>\n
The study was conducted in November and December 2005 among 6,544 adults in Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Korea, the U.K. and the U.S.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Accessing the Internet on a wireless handheld device is no longer a novelty for consumers in the major global economies,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Brian Cruikshank, senior Vice President and managing director for Ipsos said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153In the long term, many of today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s PC-centric online activities could be complemented through the mobile phone or migrate to the mobile phone altogether, due to great convenience and faster connection speeds.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Twenty-eight percent of mobile phone owners have browsed the Internet on their cellphones according to the study. While that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only a 3 percent increase from 2004, the study says that people over 35 are fueling the growth.<\/p>\n
The study also showed that text messaging was the most popular online activity, used by more than half of all mobile phone households. More than one-third have sent or received emails as well, but personal computers still remain the device of choice to access the Internet.<\/p>\n
In a related study, researchers Maryam Kamvar and Shumeet Baluja looked at 1 million search queries made to Google mobile and arrived at some surprising conclusions. According to the pair, searches for porn on cellphones exceeded similar PC-based searches by percentage. Based on the study, 20 percent of the searches on cellphones were for porn, whereas only 10 percent of PC searches sought the same material.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We speculate that people may feel more comfortable querying adult terms on private [mobile] devices,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the study suggested. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Anecdotally, we have observed that users often consider their cellphone as a very personal and private device; perhaps even more so than their computer \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the probability of others discovering their search behavior (through cached pages, auto-completion of query terms or URLs) is smaller.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
