A guaranteed eye-opener

Every so often I come across a presentation worth sharing, not because it is dazzling and not because it is dreadful, but because it does one particular thing really well. This is one of those.

What makes it worth three minutes of your time is its purpose: it was built to be presented without a presenter, and for that job it is genuinely informative and beautifully put together.

Give it those three minutes and you will come away with a lovely little insight into just how quickly the mobile market is growing right now, and, at the same time, how little it has actually grown in the grand scheme of things. That contrast is the whole point, and it lands.
