We all know by now that phone and tablet
applications add a lot of fun and convenience to our lives, but many of us
aren’t aware of how much many of them are revolutionizing the home, business,
education, and even childcare. So many applications are available at the tap of
a screen that it’s difficult to keep up with all the fantastic innovation
available to us in a handheld device. Here are just a few of the types of
applications that are creating big change even in this modern world that we
live in.
Social Apps
Observe any young person, and it’s clear that
the manners by which individuals interact with one another have changed
dramatically. Remember when we didn’t take pictures but once a month? With the
prevalence of social media and camera phones, the landscape of social
interaction has changed dramatically, especially for Millenials. However, this
isn’t all bad. Often online interaction can spur great offline interaction by
allowing us to know more about one another and ask deeper questions when
face-to-face. While texting or messaging may seem distant, it can increase
day-to-day efficiency by eliminating lengthy phone calls. Businesses also live
or die by social media – if a business truly has good customer service and
ethics, social media sites identify this.
Training Apps
The business world is also being
revolutionized by many training apps that help more efficiently and effectively
train employees. For example, a simple frozen yogurt app can help a whole
crew of employees learn about the processes and procedures for running a yogurt
store, including fixing machines and maintenance. While apps will likely never
replace a manager or supervisor, they can help employees greatly by providing a
simple place of reference to solve issue that may come up throughout the day –
and to be trained well from the beginning.
Financial Management
Many fantastic
financial management apps are helping individuals, families, and businesses
better manage their finances, so they can meet their goals and live more
fulfilling lives. From mobile bank deposits to budgeting apps to couponing, budgeting is easier than ever. You can even link up applications to your online
banking and bill pay to automatically track where you’re spending and where to
cut back on a month-to-month basis. There’s no reason not to try out some of
these fantastic applications that will add to your life.
