Smartphones and tablets are taking over. Web traffic from mobile devices is accounting for a larger piece of the pie with every passing month.

The speed with which smartphones and tablets have taken off has left advertisers in the dust.

In other words, we’re living in the golden age of mobile technology where we can bask in its glory before it gets flooded with advertising.
