Ever since the smartphones started
coming out back in 1992 is where apps all began. Smartphones have come a long
way since then in just a short period of time to becoming very popular and
affordable is when apps went through the roof! One of my favorite sayings is “there’s
an App for that”. Pretty much any game, platform, music, or GPS has some kind
of app on the smartphone which can come to good use. From having a cellular device
on our person 24/7 has brought our generation to spend more time online than
any other media. Which most of that mobile time is spent on apps, which has
brought apps to become the most dominant form of digital interaction. The
reason apps are so popular and are used by pretty much everyone now a days is
because consumers want the simplicity and focus that apps provide, rather than
the variety found in websites.
Mobile apps have changed the way we
live forever, and will continue to do so. From changing our relationships and
how we communicate with one another. People are so attached to their phones and
are starting to become socially awkward and are missing what is happening around
them by only focusing on a false reality that comes from all of the social
media apps that are out there. “Our app-driven life: Smart-phone apps are
becoming the north star for millions of Americans who use them to navigate
through life – shopping, playing, reading, dating, learning, and more with
their fingertips.” Although these apps and technology are extremely incredible
by making things so much easier for us, but at the same time it is making us
lazy by providing no reason to leave the house because we can do pretty much
any daily activity through our smartphones. Some different apps that I use on a
daily basis are Instagram, Pandora, Facebook, Gmail, Venmo, Snapchat, and Google Maps just to
name a few. This just shows how much apps are used in our daily lives.
Do you think mobile apps will ever get replaced by something bigger and better? Nice Post!
ReplyDeleteApps can definitely destroy society if used in the wrong way, but I feel that the benefits outway the cons. Apps have saved us so much time and money, as well as stimulate the economy with many start-up just from apps.
