Mobile culture


We have become an app based society; one commercial advertisement for Apple some years back cliche was "yep we have an app for that". The human experience is a now on the go lifestyle thanks in part to smart phone technology. A generation ago we were tied to landlines a source of communication. We would often wait by the phone at home or what was then called a pay phone when expecting an important call. The new era technology put at are finger tips not only a mobile phone but one equipped with enough apps to handle a majority of social task, execute scheduling, book trips & hotel reservations, and stream our favorite movies and songs (Hayden, & Webster, 2015). Just a few years ago we probably would have needed someone to explain streaming but now there are virtual reality helmets that allows panoramic visual and audio sharing of experiences virtually anywhere in the world. In our mobile lives apps are created to make lives easier and to enrich our everyday living with custom features. The ever evolving capabilities of technology grows each day with every addition of data added to the computer and data base systems with interchanging qualities. The reality is technology is an extension of the entire human experience in a holistic view. Reference Hayden, T., & Webster, T. (2015).
