Will this happen here?

Accessing the internet on Japan's mobile phones has become so fast and easy that many young people have forsaken computers.

Between 2000 and 2006, the proportion of Japanese 20-year-olds using home PCs to access the internet plummeted from 23.6 per cent to 11.9 per cent, according to figures released by Net Ratings.

In Japan, gadget-obsessed 20-year-olds now have mobile phones that can surf between three high-definition PC websites at a time, handle Flash software, and download Word, Excel and PDF files at rapid speed.

Perhaps the Japanese will also evolve a different shaped thumb to better surf the net.
