AEA Video: Luke Wroblewski (author, Mobile First) – Mobile To The Future

His key points are;

• Mobile is the next form of mass media
• We are currently in a process of transition from ‘the desktop web’ to ‘the mobile web’
• So the process web designers and developers should engage in is;
  1. Taking what we know from the desktop web
  2. Adapting and optimising it for mobile
  3. Then finding new ways to do things that only mobile makes possible
• He looks at how to do this through the examples of making a better login form and improving the online checkout process.
• He concludes that the shift to mobile forces us to look again at what we are doing and find ways to do it better.
