Trends have always come and gone, but when it comes to all-things-tech, the speed of change is faster than an Internet minute. It isn’t that tech users are all that fickle; it’s that the environment around them is constantly changing. Take the “smartphones vs. laptops war” for example. It isn’t that either won; rather, the war left the battlefield. No one bothers to rant for one side or the other any more. By the time netbooks and tablets made a debut on the mobile scene, no one thought to ask which of all these devices would be the winner-take-all king of the WiFi hill.
