This discussion is not about some abstract concept of value. Here value means cash money. There will likely be 100x-10000x more smartphones to laptops ratio, and most of the ecommerce will be done with the smartphone. Buying things on the web is what makes companies like Google valuable. Because of this, being ready for the majority of the Internet use to come from smartphones is going to be a big factor in their long term success.
