I've noticed this too since moving to Japan a month ago.
You could probably take it even one step further - replace search boxes and URLs with QR codes(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_Code http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_Code).
They're everywhere in Japan now.
You just scan the code with your (5.1 MP) mobile camera and it loads the URL directly in your mobile browser.
