A Sneak Peek Into: Humans and Robots The Future Is Now

"The whole world may be at your fingertips when you find yourself holding a smartphone, but local information is abundant as well. Mobile applications have brought an entirely new meaning to the phrases "locally owned and operated" and "locally grown". You see, before the mobile devices were here to guide us around the parts of the city that we're unfamiliar with or suggest stores for us to visit, we could only shop at the businesses that we knew. These businesses were normally larger corporations. Mobile device searching makes it much easier for small little Mom and Pop shops to get recognized in the community. Instead of supermarket produce, consumers now have the option to choose locally grown produce. Consumers also have the power to check the weather forecast, so they know whether their outfit is appropriate for the day before they even step out of their front doors."

"No longer must you find a computer to access your Facebook account. Chat rooms are a thing of the past. Email is so outdated that it has become the new snail mail. You and I are connected to the outside world more than EVER before. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing...you can post about it, you can tweet about it, or you can snap about it. Check in so people know where you are (this feature has helped law enforcement quite a bit as well in more recent times), or just post a picture of the lovely dinner you fixed for your family, so at least you'll get praise from someone. Use Instagram to post pictures from vacation that you don't want to spam everyone on Facebook with, use Twitter to make quick updates and keep up with trending topics, use Facebook to check on your closest friends and family and connect with your favorite businesses, and use Snapchat to send a message to your friends that will disappear in 24 hours."

"Besides being able to send information to targeted audiences, mobile application development has many other perks! Some of these include (but are not limited to): GPS tracking, coupons, analysis of applications, and push notifications. Restaurants, Law Firms, Medical Clinics, Public Schools, Churches, Community Centers, Bakeries, and Antique Shops are some of the many types of businesses and organizations that could benefit from these extra perks. This is because mobile apps fill the gap between customers and businesses. Every customer is able to keep track of their own home, their own history, and their own interests, while the business is able to keep track of everyone's homes, everyone's history, and everyone's current interests. Mobile applications give an outside-of-the-box point of view to both the business owner and consumer."

"Choose a developer that is willing to take the extra time to ensure that the application will work for different types of devices. One size never fits all. There are too many variables. So, if your developer returns just one version of your new app, be very weary. Make sure to inform them beforehand that you'd like the application to serve multiple devices, and preferably list those devices out so the developer knows which versions to deliver to you, and which version they won't have to waste precious time on."

"This is why a well-designed application is essential. By designing an app that is intuitive, visually appealing, and easy to use, the developer is providing a portal into a business that can make all of the difference between a sale and a missed opportunity. Of course, there are a number of other examples of why a good app іs a must for many busіness today. These іnclude: a superb opportunіty to іncrease customer loyalty, as well as brand recognіtіon. Іndeed, the very fact that the app exіsts helps іmprove a busіness' standіng (as long as іt іs a well-desіgned app). On top of all of the other benefits, mobile apps also encourage users to share their experiences and track their consumer habits. Both of those bits of information are like gold to a business owner."
