Desktop and Mobile Trends

What specifically has happened to the percentage of desktop sessions on onwravens.net over the last four years? 

According to the Data that Mr.Olson gave us apparently that number of desktop sessions has gone down from nearly 109 thousand viewers, to nearly 58 thousand viewers. That is nearly half of what it used to be.

What specifically has happened to the percentage of mobile sessions during the same time? 

The number of mobile sessions on the onwravens.net website has gone from only a mere 20 thousand to 45 thousand in the past 4 years. It's past it's doubling point at this time. 

Prediction for Next Year

I believe that within the next year, the number of mobile users were overtake the number of desktop users. I believe this will also reflect in all other websites as well.

What is a bounce rate?

"the percentage of visitors to a particular website who navigate away from the site after viewing only one page."

For all four of the time periods, how do the bounce rate, pages per session, and average session duration compare between desktop, mobile, and tablet users?

Desktop Bounce Rate: 46% in 2012, 42% in 2013, 41% in 2014, 44% in 2015

Desktop Pages per Session: 2.78 in 2012, 2.83 in 2013, 2.78 in 2014, 2.63 in 2015

Desktop Session Durations: 2:15 in 2012, 2:28 in 2013, 2:19 in 2014, 2:14 in 2015

Mobile Bounce Rate: 53% in 2012, 58% in 2013, 56% in 2014, 59% in 2015

Tablet Session Durations: 2:26 in 2012, 2:28 in 2013, 2:11 in 2014, 2:17 in 2015

What does this tell you about the needs or tendencies of a mobile user compared to a desktop user? Imagine you are going to our website on your phone - what are you likely to be looking for? 

Mobile users tend to be on for less time and tend to view less pages as Desktop users. Mobile websites are easier to navigate and therefore easier to get on and get off. I would probably be looking for summer assignments if anything, or something Mr.Olson would want us to look at. 

Look up statistics and/or international percentage of Internet usage of desktop and mobile
