Phone Apps Galore ... How Many Physical Items Do They Replace?
A daily tech segment aired weekdays on KYMN Radio at 8:35am and 12:10pm.
I love my Android smartphone. And I love "apps" even more. They're a dream come true. You can think of some function or needed service, search and download a free app in minutes followed by enjoying its use immediately. But I have an excuse to download hundreds of apps. It's to review them and tell you folks all about it ... of course.
The other day I was looking for one of those little counter clickers that people use to count attendance. I went to eBay to buy one, then I remembered the app store. Going there I found many free counters. Minutes later I was using it. This free app replaced a physical item that I was going to buy. Then I went through my apps and counted 31 physical items that I no longer need because of my smart phone. Things like a calculator, camera, a pad of paper or my calendar no longer reside in my briefcase or office.
In this 2 minute Technology Trends, I discuss this Phenomenon.
