The technological world has faced many important changes in the latest years. Up until a few years ago, personal computers were the primary and only connection to the digital world: people used them to surf the web, to write documents, to watch videos, to play, and to perform business activities.
Nowadays, personal computers still play an important role, but they are often replaced or used together with new devices—like smartphones and tablets—which open up a new set of scenarios, thanks to their unique features such as long battery life, lightness, hardware sensors, and connectivity.
Windows and Windows Phone are the two key platforms in the Microsoft ecosystem that have been created and evolved to answer to the user’s needs in this changing world.
