I realize that so far I've mostly been posting infographics but here's another cool one.  

One of the most exciting trends out there to me is the Google's move towards mobile because what it does is takes google's collection of global information and connects back to local businesses.  I think that what this will eventually mean is that with Google, small local businesses will be empowered to compete against the likes of Amazon and Ebay again because if local search results show up right next to your global ones many people will pick the local option. 

Basically I think your shopping choice stratifications will change again.  Let's say I want to buy a toaster.  Currently, my choices are realistically 1) Amazon, 2) Target, 3) Costco.. But what a mom and pop toaster shop? or buying my neighbors old perfectly good toaster???   Well imagine if a google search would not only yield Amazon, Target, Costco results but also my neighbor or the mom and pop shop down the street.  

Google will soon be powerful enough to manage a virtual inventory just like amazon's but with location data included.
