In the world of Apps
Applications on your electronic devices can make your life very easy. In the article, Navigating the World with Social Media, we learn from a couple of people that apps can save your day. If you need a taxi and you couldn’t find one, then there is an app for a taxi services around your neighborhood. If you need to find a restaurant at an airport terminal then there is an app for that as well. A lot of hotels, airlines, restaurants and more have their own app for you to make reservations without having to pick up the phone. This makes everything convenient for us.
Since we are always in the run, and don’t have time to make a phone call while at an important meeting, we can always find the app on your electronic device, and just do what you have to do. Nice, simple and straight to the point. With all of these new apps for pretty much everything, it makes me wonder what would the app world look like in a few years from now. You can pretty much do everything through an application, but what is going to happen to the human interaction? You can call a customer service representative to plan a trip or book a flight, but isn’t much easier to just use the app? Are we really the ones who are causing unemployment in our own country, because we want everything to be done much easier? Just some things to think about…
