Smart Phones

As we have already discussed in our blog, smart phones are a not now a want in our lifestyle, they are a need. Mobile phones have now become a fundamental instrument to all occupations and facilities around the world. We have many different needs for smartphones, to keep in touch with our loved ones, to meet new people, to stay connected in social media etc.
Social Media and Dating is my topic today, as mobile phones are now providing us with “apps” available that will allow you to create an online profile to meet new people. As we know a massive percentage of the world uses facebook and other social media websites, this is why apps are constantly updated so we have the best forms of communication available. Dating apps now allow us to create a profile which allows us to keep in touch with people with similar characteristics and hobbies. This is now at the tip of your fingers where back in the day, they were newspaper ads or posters in local shops tagged as “looking for”. Technology has once again allowed us to create the opportunity to keep in touch even when we are not at home on computers, laptops etc

Live Traffic NSW:

Who hates sitting in peak hour traffic? I know I do. You need to download the Live Traffic app for iphone, this app is my guardian angel. This app would benefit so many people, as it gives you information regarding the level of traffic on each road. The best thing about this app is that it helps you avoid accidents and heavy traffic and will give you an idea of your best run home from work!

Live traffic NSW app gives you a LIVE webcam image of the major roads all across Sydney to give you an idea of maybe taking another route to get home. For me when I’m leaving uni each afternoon as I’m walking to my car I quickly suss out whether I should be using the freeway or the back way home depending on the webcam.

Accidents are reported instantly and uploaded for your convenience, and it even tells you road work details such as reduced speeds etc. To have information like this available at the tip of your fingers is just another example of how amazing our technology really is!

Lost On Campus:

This app “lost on campus” is quite useful and became of great use to me at the beginning of this year when I started University. This app is one of the many creative programs now being thought of to help people. Similar to a gps, when you need street direction to an address or landmark, the lost on campus app allows you to enter the university you attend, and the classroom you need to find. It will act as a gps and instruct you by map or directions to the designated area.

Who even thinks of things like that? Its genius, an app as such allows students to be punctual to class if ever running late or if they have exams in different rooms they are not going to be lost and looking around helplessly. Any uni student would benefit from this app because not only does it point to class rooms it also directs you to food courts, shops, information desks, careers advisors etc.

Keek

The app that is currently being used all over the internet is “keek” this is used by users and celebrities worldwide to be able to blog their movements. This app involves a short 20-60 second video which is often used by people travelling or just keeping a daily entry about what their day included.

Keek allows friends and family to follow your movements and video blogs by subscribing to your profile which includes an email notification to your phone once someone has uploaded a video. This app is perfect for new bloggers as it is basically a simple form of communication to keep a diary entry about what each day’s activities were.

Celebrities use this app to get into touch with their supporters and fans, it makes you feel a connection between the person conducting the video and yourself as it is a personal form of communication.
