​​📱 vs 📺 Mobile Soon to Pass TV in Time Spent
But IoT could one day soon capture some of those mobile minutes

Americans are spending less time with most major media, with one major exception: #smartphones.

In 2018, adults will still dedicate more time per day to #TV—nearly 3 hours, 50 minutes—than to any other medium, but TV time is shrinking, down from 4 hours, 37 minutes in 2012. #Mobile time will increase to 3 hours, 35 minutes in 2018, and by 2019 mobile will be the new leader in time spent, with 3 hours, 43 minutes of engagement vs. TV’s 3 hours, 42 minutes.

⚡️ Apps account for over 90% of internet time on smartphones and 77% of internet time on tablets. But this is slightly misleading, in that nearly half of app time occurs in an individual’s top app, and 90% in the top five. Moreover, some web time may be undercounted due to browsers embedded within apps. (Source: eMarketer)

​​🗓 The Road to Ubiquity is Getting Shorter
Time innovations needed for 50 million users (in years)

When #PokemonGo got released, it took only 19 days until 50 million people to started running around the streets blind.

When in 1909 Ferdinand Count of Zeppelin laid out parts of the foundation for todays interconnected world by founding the very first airline, it took 64 years for the same amount of people to use this innovation.

The impact an innovation has on humankind is quite irrelevant for how fast it gets picked up by people. More important is the ever-extending interconnection of our world.

​​⏳ People spend almost as much time on Instagram as they do on Facebook
Snapchat isn’t far behind.

On average, #Instagram users spent 53 minutes per day with the #Android app in June — just five minutes less than #Facebook users spent with their app. #Snapchat users spent 49.5 minutes in the Snap app, on average.

Time spent matters because more time in the app means people probably see more advertisements, which is how all these apps make money. The big war on mobile devices right now is for user attention.
