The future will be in real life
Today we spend most of our time on a ~5 inch screen. It's arguable that is healthy and that is making our social interaction worst. But what's worst? Watching a phone while walking or seating the entire day in a chair in front of a desktop computer?
Think mobile
The point of this blog post is simple, think mobile.
Your startup should be mobile first.
Focus on building a solid mobile UX. Don't waste your time thinking on desktop computer UX. Remember that today ~%90 of your users are potentially already on mobile.
