A World Before Apps

You interact and communicate via a number of mobile apps every day; think about it: can you remember your life before mobile apps? It’s difficult to imagine keeping track of your eating habits before the existence of an app and how to calculate how many calories you’ve had. Because apps are such a big part of our lives, it is possible that you can overlook the enormous impact mobile applications have on your day-to-day activities. Apps have deeper effects on your buying behavior as well. There is no doubt that the mobile phone is one of the most important inventions that our society has witnessed. Cell phones have changed the way we interact and communicate with one another. So too have mobile apps become an important aspect of our daily lives.

How did you live before the arrival of mobile apps?

Before the mobile phone, you likely spent your time on public transportation reading newspapers, magazines, and books to pass the time. Now, with the rise of apps, you can spend your travel time getting updates about the weather, fashion or just about anything else! With the rise of apps, you can play games or live-stream important events and sports games. Research has shown that Android users are able to choose from 1.5 million apps. Apple users aren’t far behind with Apple’s App Store having 1.4 million apps available for download. Mobile apps have changed the way we do business and our very way of life. Now, thanks to apps, we can quickly find a restaurant near us, keep track of notes we want to remember for later or be alerted to breaking news as it happens.

Before apps, it was quite difficult to stay in touch with family and friends

Before mobile phones, it was harder to stay in touch with our family and friends, or to organize meetings or trips. Doing all of these things meant using paper maps, keeping notes and relying on research done ahead of time. Now, with the help of a simple app, people can quickly access information they need in order to go about their day.

Apps have made our life very easy

If you wanted to use Google before the arrival of mobile apps, you had to log on to a computer. But now, apps let you access the information you need on the go. Getting around was quite difficult before we could use an app that can give us directions to where we are headed. Before mobile phones became popular, you would have to stay home to wait for a significant call. If someone left you a message, it was recorded on a cassette tape in an answering machine. However, now, thanks to the mobile phone and all the apps available to us, we can access all the necessary things with the use of our fingertips.
