Apple updates the iphone

As the weather gets worse, school is back, vacations are over. So tech companies are starting to push their new lines of technology. Including Apple with its 5s and 5g. Samsung and others of course will also put new stuff out just to keep up.

What is interesting is the Apple 5s is supposed to be for the Chinese market. A lower cost device, with less features. But because you can get many colors it’s going to be popular in Europe, as well as America. But is this really something to get excited about? What is the big deal? It’s another phone very much like the 4s but it has a color. I know that we can be fooled into thinking this is a new technology, but really it’s a new plastic case that will cost £549. No surprise, Apple will sell many of them to Hungarians.

Apps make your life perfect

 

There are so many apps today I think everything has been done. It looks like I have got an app for everything just a fingertip away. The apps are so easy to use, no wonder there are so popular.

 

Originally the app service was offered for general productivity tools and to get information quickly. Such as a calendar, stock market and weather broadcast apps. that where free and some useful pay for tools also.  I agree it’s great if you own a business focused on creative design of software. But If I’d had a Nail Saloon – for instance – and I wanted to be on the map, now I would need to create an app for that.

Now Microsoft has 160,000 apps, Google has 800,000 apps and Apple has 1,250,000 apps - according to Forbes. However app explosion still does not help get things done for you, these apps only provide only a short term reminders, and a short term time to play with something new. And the question is, How do you ever find a good app. in the app stores now that there are millions of them?   

Do we need them all of them? How did they change our behavior so far? Recently I’ve realized I can’t have a nice chat with my friends without being interrupted – ‘Hang on, while I check my phone!’ And how will it affect my life? I mean, do I become lazy? It is nice to check out what the current time is on the other side of the world. Ok, I need it. But why can’t I do the math in my head?

And what about the future? There is an app that tells me I have 37% chance to get pregnant today. Hmm…. Is there any apps which is tell me if my husband will be around tonight?
