They've become more significant than our significant others. Breaks down how much time we spend on our phones.

timing when and where your ad shows up in mobile can be the most important part of the ad.

This is a dense article but for that reason, all the more important to read carefully. This part surprised me in a good way: "By waiting until the user has finished their activity, closing an app, or is switching to another task and then showing a relevant, media-rich full screen, a Postitial ad to say "thank you and this session was sponsored by brand X" has proven to be around five times more engaging than traditional interstitial advertising."

Something that has increased in popularity lately is Netflix. It's supported on Chrome Casts for the tv, computers, gaming systems, and has a really convenient app. The app essentially turns you phone into a remote. Now you don't have to run to the computer to change shows. I know nowandays the only time I actually download an app is for a service and I'll probably download this one.

I know, I know. This is old - in internet time - but didn't know this existed. Interesting how information collected on different devices can be used interchangeably.

What is most interesting to me about this is the potential for storytelling - think of it like a play where the first act is inside a mobile banner, the second act is in a web banner and the third act is served via Netflix video ad.

Bad day for shopaholics. This significantly shortens the buying time.

The Amazon Dash is a WiFi and voice-enabled barcode scanner that lets people add items to a shopping list.

We can learn from our past to move in to the future. I feel that many of these will continue to hold true for some time to come and others will change or morph into new and amazing things.

This is also commonly referred to as "the internet of things." Digital Sixth Sense is probably a more intuitive way to talk about it, but it's a complex topic to grasp regardless.
