Responsive is the answer. http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/38208449@N00/7712219364

But not the way you’re thinking.

There are other paths you can take… http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/95572727@N00/4204913417

But they will lead you to the same place. http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/cuppini/2631488256

Most responsive web designs are…

Small screen assets Large screen assets Progressive enhancement based on
screen size Mobile First Responsive Web Design is a technical approach for responsible responsive designs.

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/soldiersmediacenter/6999691421 Yes, there are obstacles…

But the biggest challenge is us. http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/yamagatacamille/5434502250/

http://www.flickr.com/photos/hellogeri/6154034099/ A few years ago, Jeremy Keith talked about how…

http://www.flickr.com/photos/60415054@N00/14301113/ we told ourselves that the web was…

http://www.flickr.com/photos/adactio/6153481666/ Then mobile came and made us realize…

that it was a consensual hallucination all along. http://www.flickr.com/photos/garibaldi/303085857/

The web never had a fixed canvas. http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulocarrillo/124755065/

Even our tools perpetuate the lie.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/69797234@N06/7203485148/ We’re making some progress.

We often dismiss as unlikely the idea that someone will
want to use our service on a small screen.

It’s fairly certain that the highest-value use will stay predominantly
on desktop. —Jakob Nielsen http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/dplanet/82899080/

Most complex tasks have vastly better user experience on the
desktop and thus will be performed there… Yes, you might enter a stock trade with your broker's mobile app, but you'll research new mutual funds on the desktop. —Jakob Nielsen

In late 2008, after I had left the company, most
of the eBay Mobile team was laid oﬀ or re-assigned to other parts of the company. Executives wanted to focus on the “core” of the business, and eBay Mobile was evidently not considered “core”. —Alan Lewis, Original developer of eBay iPhone App http://alanlewis.typepad.com/weblog/2011/01/ebay-for-iphone-why-it-almost-didnt-happen.html

But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in observing people
on their mobile devices, it’s that they’ll do anything on mobile if they have the need. Write long emails? Check. Manage complex sets of information? Check. And the list goes on. If people want to do it, they’ll do it on mobile -especially when it’s their only or most convenient option. —Luke Wroblewski lukew.com/ﬀ/entry.asp?1333

http://mobithinking.com/mobile-marketing-tools/latest-mobile-stats#mobile-only 25% of mobile web users in U.S. never or
infrequently access the desktop web.

Understanding mobile as the primary and sometimes only device… http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/e4a-2030/5106562313

is diﬃcult when we spend so much time on our
PCs. http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/goobi/4021009835/

Even the way we work as teams needs to change.

We need to learn to let go.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/rheaney/4397863376 It started with TVs.

Designing for a 10-foot UI is very diﬀerent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisbartow/5835428673

Larger text and fewer words.

Make up, down, left, right directions clear. http://images.dailytech.com/nimage/29122_large_amazon_prime_screen_5.jpg

How do we know what is a TV?

This is HDTV.

This is HDTV. 1980 px 1080 px

Resolution does not define the optimal experience.

Next came responsive web apps. https://twitter.com/freediverx/status/354698695041744896

How do I make this existing application responsive?

mobile desktop THE ART OF WEB DEVELOPMENT THE ART OF
WEB DEVELOPMENT Web widgets THE ART OF WEB DEVELOPMENT THE ART OF WEB DEVELOPMENT Mobile widgets

It’s not that we’re technically incapable, but adapting a phone
UI to a tablet UI is not so dissimilar from trying to automatically adapt desktop UI to a phone. They are fundamentally diﬀerent platforms with diﬀerent usability considerations, and something that makes sense on phones may or may not belong on tablets. —Todd Anglin, Kendo UI http://www.kendoui.com/blogs/teamblog/posts/12-09-11/universal_mobile_apps_with_html5_and_kendo_ui.aspx

Sometimes it’s hard to envision a responsive version. http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/editing.html

http://www.flickr.com/photos/jesuspresley/384080245/ We want people to be productive…

and stay in the zone. http://www.flickr.com/photos/raccatography/8038855203

http://www.flickr.com/photos/shantellmartin/4543010568 Which seems very diﬀerent from playing on an iPad.

For both the TV…

and the desktop web app…

input matters much more than screen size.

The grid is important to support d-pad interaction. http://images.dailytech.com/nimage/29122_large_amazon_prime_screen_5.jpg

http://www.flickr.com/photos/royalsapien/2387707860

And keyboard and mouse are what we envision work is.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/royalsapien/2387707860

We’ve started letting go of some of our mistaken assumptions.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulocarrillo/124755065/

But there is another consensual hallucination. http://www.flickr.com/photos/garibaldi/303085857/

Supports hover and pointer events.

Keyboard and touch.

Even the iPhone can have a keyboard.

Are these laptops or tablets?

Desktop computer with 23” touch screen

Luke Wroblewski nailed it. http://static.lukew.com/unified_device_design.png

We can no longer make assumptions about input based on
screen size or form factor. And we probably never should have.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/cblue98/7254221968

Input represents a bigger challenge than screen size. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cblue98/7254221968

http://www.flickr.com/photos/taedc/9278192929

And it is changing more rapidly than ever before. http://www.flickr.com/photos/taedc/9278192929

So let’s take a closer look…

Let’s start with futuristic input. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jdhancock/3714748769/

http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/File:Man_yelling_at_computer.JPG VOICE

http://www.98ps.com/viewnews-15222.html

Siri gets all of the hype… http://www.98ps.com/viewnews-15222.html

but both Microsoft and Google have compelling voice input in
their products.

How should web pages change to support voice control?

Google voice search

You can use speech recognition too. http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/demos/speech.html http://www.moreawesomeweb.com/demos/speech_translate.html

Whatever you may think, it currently isn't possible to reliably
detect whether or not the current device has a touchscreen, from within the browser. —Stu Cox, You Can’t Reliably Detect a Touch Screen http://www.stucox.com/blog/you-cant-detect-a-touchscreen/

Chrome has entertained idea of enabling touch by default. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=159527

Detect a mouse? Not reliably.

Surely we can detect a keyboard?

Surely we can detect a keyboard? NOPE

Input is dynamic.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/lyza/7382235106 Maybe we need to be more zen about input.

After poking at this problem for a few weeks, my
conclusion is: every desktop UI should be designed for touch now. When any desktop machine could have a touch interface, we have to proceed as if they all do. —Josh Clark http://globalmoxie.com/blog/desktop-touch-design.shtml

mouse Pointer Events builds on the DOM event model to oﬀer a new way to handle input on the web, enabling developers to build touch-first experiences that work with mouse, pen, and other pointing devices as well…They are also designed from the ground up to allow modern browsers to accelerate the touch-surface performance, leading to a smoother user experience.

What about those who won’t let go of their “power”
