“In the 1990s the internet emerged as a public communications medium, and there were countless commentaries on its social impacts and implications. It took a series of transformations over the course of the 1980s and early 1990s to turn the internet into a popular form of communication” (Abbate, 1999, 181).

Mobile apps: Then and Now

Now here we are over 27 years later with the internet becoming an ever important need in our daily lives. The access to the internet went from just computers to tablets, television, and so on with the most convenient being smartphones. In this day and age, one thing that we all consider an essential part of our lives is our smartphones. Our smartphones with these mobile apps have become such an important aspect just to function in our daily lives. The apps that we don't realize we use daily that save us from having to memorize important things.

Mobile Apps: Personalized Just How We Like It

Our smartphones are almost as if to be a necessity that we don’t do too many things in the day without them. It has become a part of our daily lives as if just “weaving” itself right in as Weiser stated and without it some of us would be lost. “Personalization is about offering tailored communication to users based on their interests, location, usage behavior and more.”

There are no restrictions on what you can do with a mobile application and they perform actions much quicker than a mobile website. “Mobile users spend 86% of their time on mobile apps and just 14% of the time on mobile websites.”

Mobile Apps: Work Life

We can do just about anything on our phones, but what makes these smartphones so useful are the apps installed on them. Many people have multiple apps installed on their phone, myself included, which assist in some way to our daily tasks. The biggest use is for communication. First I want to tell how it can improve work productivity as many companies are incorporating the idea of mobile apps into business, which resulted in a “34% increase in productivity.” Additionally, allowing for collaboration with others, flexibility in work schedule, and more savings for the business.

Mobile Apps: Social Life, Everyday Life & Education

 Mobile apps on phones also improve social lives as well helping everyone to keep in touch with family and friends when schedules can get really busy. There are apps such as Facebook, Twitter, even Instagram, or Skype that permits communication with others so you are able to find a minute or two to connect using your smartphone. Having an app that saves you if you get locked out your apartment, telling you the ingredients of what’s in a product you purchase, coupons for discounts, keeps a list of your tasks for the day, create a shareable list of favorites (restaurants, sites in a city, movies, etc.) and keep track of when bills are due. Just a few of the many things that apps do that make the overall quality of life simple.
