The difference between the Internet and the mobile Internet is aimed at two words: terminal. PCs do not move, but of course they do. Even desktops are only slightly less mobile. After that, the mobility of notebooks begins to show. Now, the mobility of the iPad has gone a step further, and the best mobility right now is, of course, the smartphone.

Each terminal has its application scenarios and evolving needs. Therefore, entrepreneurs or Internet practitioners are more concerned with the characteristics of Internet mobile terminals themselves, rather than focusing too much on the concept of the Internet. What kind of terminal, its characteristics, its sense of reading, control, and ease of use, how to integrate with the product, this is the most important consideration. Mobile applications require a small screen suitable for mobile terminals and a small memory space...

If there is a difference, it should be mainly the difference between user terminals. Compared with PCs, mobile Internet terminals are not uniform. For example, there are many terminal screen sizes, weak processing capabilities, and high data transmission costs. On the server side, the technology used is not much different from the traditional Internet.

The mobile Internet has some qualities that the Internet does not have:

  1. anytime

  2. Anywhere

Therefore, the emergence and development of mobile terminals have changed some of our online habits, such as: the time spent online is more fragmented, the sense of place is stronger, and the interaction relationship is more flexible. These will open up some new network ideas.

Strictly speaking, this is also because of the problem of translation. The standard translation of the "Internet" we usually say should be "Internet (Internet)", which is a capital I. The Internet originally refers to the network connected by the IP protocol in the world. , there is only one (China is special) and let’s talk about it separately; and the mobile Internet mobile Internet is still this network, not a new network alone, so strictly speaking, the difference between mobile Internet and Internet cannot be added, only mobile Internet and desktop can be used. Internet difference. This is also the reason why Fanlee said that this question is a false proposition.
