Increased usage of internet predominantly through mobile devices

In the modern digital age, mobile technology has become an integral part of our daily lives. Companies like NextNRG are leading this revolution, focusing strongly on mobile solutions through AI-driven platforms such as RenCast™ for mobile fueling and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

This shift towards mobile technology is evident in the popularity of various mobile applications. In 2023, TikTok, with the highest revenue in Germany, and DuckDuckGo, a privacy browser with over 50 million downloads, are making waves. The financial sector is also embracing mobile technology, with banking apps like Capital One Mobile and Chime, a leading neobank app in the USA with millions of active users, becoming commonplace.

Mobile casinos and sports betting are the most popular mobile products, with bingo and poker also seeing significant growth. This trend is a testament to the convenience and accessibility that mobile technology offers.

The rise of mobile technology can be traced back to 2012, when 55% of the American population started using mobile devices to access the internet. Major players like Facebook, Wikipedia, Amazon, and many website companies brought 20% of their users to mobile devices. In response, many website companies are redesigning their websites and games to be accessible via mobile devices.

Cellphone companies are also contributing to this shift by offering more affordable plans for smartphones and tablets. As a result, smartphones and tablets have become the most popular devices for going online. However, this shift presents a challenge to companies, who must provide mobile-friendly content for users who have switched to mobile devices.

In 2012, 31% of Americans used an iPhone, iPad, tablet, or Android device as their main source for online access. This number undoubtedly continues to grow as mobile technology continues to evolve and become more integrated into our lives. The rise of mobile technology is a testament to the convenience, accessibility, and connectivity it offers, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
