Web searching is not just for the laptop and desktop computer anymore. We search our phones for addresses, search our social media platforms to keep up with interesting pictures, friends posts and learn randon facts about politics all while on our smartphones or tablet pads. We are so well connected that we are lost without our cellular phones, which were scarce, at best, in the hands of a 13 year old. Now adults, college kids, teens and even pre-teens have a phone stuck to their hip or in their purse at all times.

Android phones and iPhones are where the bulk of the non-traditional web searches are coming from… these are the top two groups in the world. So why haven’t people figured this out?
