Asians will drive the evolution of content and applications online, which are now dominated by English-speaking users, said Vinton Cerf, Google's vice president, at the World Knowledge Forum in Seoul Wednesday.

"The number of people using the Internet will only increase in Asia, so will their languages, culture and contents on the network," Cerf added.

China already has a huge number of online users, although the penetration rate is still low - around 12 percent. North America, which used to have the most Internet users, has now slipped to the third spot, he said. "The contents will clearly change. And the style of interactions and the way of doing business on the Internet are also going to change because of this influx of new user groups."

Mobile devices will become the main vehicle for online connections and Google is "extremely interested" in creating an open environment for mobile communications, Asia Media reported.
