: I like the version with "mobile devices" - I think the "Endgeräte" should be considered in the expression.

The future really is in our hands now!

: Clever. Definitely agree about the exclamation mark. I think English-speaking natives tend to view them as overdone.//Yes!! Looks like a teenager's diary!;-)
