More Google Searches Are Done On Mobile Devices Than PCs For First Time

In the beginning, a person with a question that needed to be answered would shout, “To the Google!” and that would most often mean sitting in front of a desktop computer or opening a laptop.

Just like we turn to our smartphones and tablets for on-the-go or on-the-couch entertainment, so are we picking up mobile devices to search the Internet more, both here and in other parts of the world, according to the Associated Press reporting on a digital advertising conference today.

While some computer and technology companies tied to PCs have struggled to survive in the new smartphone/mobile-focused world that Apple kicked off with the first iPhone in 2007, Google has been surfing along pretty well because its search engine and other services come standard in its Android mobile operating system, which is used on most non-Apple devices.
