How do these smartphones work, and what do they do?
Regardless of gender, age, society, or race, everyone is having it at hand, educated or uneducated; everyone has learned how to use it, that is a smartphone gadget. Contemporary, not having a phone is like being an out-group individual. Besides food, water, and shelter, smartphones are the next basic need in society. It is a small gadget, but its size has not hindered it from controlling and running the world socially, economically, and politically. A lot of companies have now submerged into the smartphones-manufacturing sector while business people are opening enterprises for the sales of the same. That shows how much the gadget has affected the modern-day world. Socially, according to 2019 statistics, on average, people are now spending more time on smartphones more than they are doing on televisions. So, how do these smartphones work, and what do they do?
The primary reason for owning a smartphone is often communicating. That is through making a call or sending a text message to a friend, relative, or official contact when a one on one conversation is not convenient for the parties. For a greater percentage in previous decades, even before transiting to the smartphones, they previously owned a phone, which most probably was not a smartphone. Thus, there was limited use of the gadget to calling and texting. The two aspects are basic to a smartphone even to the modern-day generation who have found a smartphone era. A phone is not offering its services to the utmost if it cannot make a call or send a message. The only thing that has changed over time is that modernly, there are different ways through the smartphones that one can make a call or send a message.
Smartphones are used as internet-access gadgets. In the generation that the world is sheltering today, the Internet is as much important as oxygen; there is no life without it. The Internet has both its shares of merits and demerits, but beyond that, there is no way to controlling it; in fact, it is controlling the world. Nothing much can run without internet access, and so, nothing much can run without a phone. Phones are helping individuals to fetch information from the Internet with ease. Know-how is no longer a problem; knowledge is always a click away as far as one has a smartphone and Internet access. Hence these two are aspects that cannot be separated. Specifically, there is no smartphone if there is no Internet.
The smartphones have converted the world at large to a small village. The world might not, by fact, have changed in size, but ideologically, we are currently living in one small village with distanced settlements. To begin with, one is not restricted to interacting with only the people that they are within their location, with social media platforms, one can reach as many people as they would like to interact with. Considering that most of the time spent on smartphones is spent on social media, it shows how much they have given the world a common home. Regardless of the location, people can “meet” conveniently and effectively anytime they feel like they need contact, maybe not physical. Past social media, news are another aspect that has connected the world from smartphones. Since news are also a click away with the gadget, it is easy to know whatever is going on in foreign lands without having to be there.
Business-wise, smartphones are also playing a big role, not just internally, but on the international level. Smartphones are very powerful marketing tools. A lot of people are marketing their products online through their phones. It only takes the creation of an account, something that can be done as fast using a phone and then posting the business product. Unlike in the past, where one has had to open a physical shop and get marketers to play the role of familiarizing the people with the new products in the market, things have been made easier and affordable. There is no need for a lot of expenses. One only needs to have a phone and the Internet, and their products can be introduced to the world and marketed from the same gadgets. They will also help make sure that the products have reached their place of destination.
In conclusion, it is evident that smartphones are not just technological gadgets that have come to spread the fun in the world; they are also important devices that have come to both unite and advance the world. Communication wise, they are central to external and internal communication when meetings are inconvenient. With the Internet becoming a lifeline of society, smartphones are helping facilitate access to Internet service. The world is no longer the “in-accessible in eternity” place; it is a village that can be toured in hours with a smartphone at hand. When it comes to business, there is no better place to open a shop and to market the products if not online using smartphones; it is a saving on capital approach.
