Google just showed off the new look that the next big release of Android—the "L" release—will have. But the new card-based look isn't just for your the operating system on your phone or tablet. It's going to leak out onto the web as well.
With a developer tool called "Polymer," Google is making the same design tools that are available to mobile developers to folks who are making websites too. In fact, the new Google Design guidelines aren't tied down by devices; they're intended to carry over across every screen, from your computer to your tablet to your phone to your TV to your watch and back.
How much and how fast this will take off is all dependent on developers, but Google is giving it a head start by slapping the new design on its mobile web sites. And that's just the beginning. The look of the web—at least Google's pretty sizable corner—just might be starting to change.
