There's an App for That!

People in today’s society are always on the go. Mobile apps allow you to perform tasks from mobile devices.  Apps are making many things accessible that weren’t accessible in the past. Most people in today’s society have access to resources that were once very expensive. Cameras, video cameras, GPS, and editing software are now available on phones and tablets.

People are finding innovative ways to incorporate the use of apps into our daily lives. This has changed the way that we interact. Some apps provide communication through audio, video and text. People are becoming closer because they can use Facebook and Skype apps to communicate from their phones.

Studies show that apps are making us smarter individuals. People have access to information that was harder to obtain in the past.  Libraries and schools are no longer the most popular avenues for learning. There are many educational apps that are available to people of all ages. Quizzes, trivia, and DIY apps are actually teaching people about various topics.

Mobile apps are extinguishing boredom.  App stores have a large supply of entertainment. Many of these apps connect people from around the world. Some game apps show the country that each player is from. Some games even allow you to chat with opponents. People are able to connect with people from different cultures. This increases interaction with people that are outside of our communities.

Businesses are able to use apps for advertisement and marketing. Businesses use news, and stock market apps to stay up to date on important information that may affect their business. Apps have also changed the way that we shop. People shop while using QR code readers to check prices and find discounts. Mobile apps opened the door for smart shopping and virtual stores. QR code stores, restaurants, shopping centers, schools, public spaces and even business are encouraging the use of mobile apps.
