Google CEO at MWC: Mobile technology ‘fundamental’ to human existence

During the course of his first speech at the MWC, Schmidt gave two striking demonstrations of Google’s Android-based mobile applications to highlight a vision for the indisputably dominant future of mobile technology, which he said has become ‘fundamental’ to human existence.
Commencing his speech by saying that he was honored to address the MWC, a place where “mobile phones even work in the elevator;” Schmidt later said: “The Internet is humongous. The notion of publishing and microblogging is an explosion that will drive networks further into everything we do. Today's generation doesn't call it a mobile phone; they call it a phone. That's a win for everybody sitting here.”
To underscore the explosive growth of the mobile industry, Schmidt noted that the sales of smartphones managed to beat the sales of PCs within a span of a mere three-year period; and further added that in developing countries like India, more Google searches are probably made on mobile phones as compared to desktop computers.
