How Did the Mobile Application Industry Change Our Lives and Our Future?
Mobile apps have revolutionized almost every aspect of our lives. Order food, make a shopping list, check your account balance, connect with others… “There’s an app for that!” We use mobile apps so much that we don’t even think about it. We sat down to look at when mobile apps first became available, how they’ve evolved, and how they’ve changed the way we communicate, work, and play. It’s hard to believe that it’s been less than 15 years since Apple and Google opened their own app stores. Now; with the the supercomputing power of today’s smartphones and advanced cellular networks; you can create mobile apps that can do just about anything imaginable. Why have mobile applications exploded in popularity? There are two main factor’s behind the tremendous growth of mobile apps. First, users truly value the convenience of apps they can download and use on their phones. Also, users almost always carry their cell phones with them wherever they go. Together, these factors have contributed to the proliferation of mobile applications in ways desktop application developers could not have imagined. Mobile app users love the convenience and simplicity of mobile apps. Most phone owners carry their phones with them, so finding the right app is quick. Once you find the app, it is very easy to download and install the app. Once installed, most users can figure out how to use a new app in just a few minutes.
It’s impossible to list all the apps available – assuming there’s one for almost everything you can think of. Today’s technologies harness the magic of mobile apps by using them to manage IoT networks in smart homes, allowing customers to manage their home’s lighting, temperature, and power consumption from anywhere by cell phone signal. Car manufacturers have created apps that allow you to pair our phone with your car so you can start your car remotely, find your car in a parking lot or even park your car for you. Of course when talking about Mobile Apps, we have to bring up Social Media Apps. For better or worse, social media apps have revolutionized the way we interact with each other. Thanks to social networks, we can easily communicate with people all over the world. Not too long ago, this was mostly limited to amateur radio, where people could meet and chat in real time over short-wave radio.
Today, this means of communication seems rather outdated, especially compared to Facebook and Skype, which provide real-time audio and video communication between people almost anywhere in the world.
Bringing our thoughts up to the gaming world, almost everyone remembers Pokemon Go, released in 2016. Augmented reality games were designed for mobile and became an overnight success. In the game, you hunt Pokemon. If you find one, take it. Train the Pokémon you collect to fight other Pokémon. Only in this game do people search for Pokémon in their area, in the forest, or in a nearby park in the middle of the night. Pokemon Go has developed dozens of AR and VR games into mobile apps, many of which are now available on Google Play and the Apple Store. Mobile apps go beyond social networks, games, and other personal apps. Employers are now using mobile apps for a variety of work-related reasons, and most apps focus on productivity, operations, and management.
The mobile app can be used to send a mechanic to the job site or track the driver’s location during delivery. Some employers also use mobile apps to track employee health. Business leaders are recognizing that mobile applications are an important part of their business. The gap between this belief and the rise of employee mobile apps for employers will continue to narrow.
