Phone Applications have become so advance that they are even used in the medical field. I think phone applications are changing our culture because there are applications to do almost anything. Not only can you use applications to listen to music or get of facebook, but also now you can use it to find out diagnosis and treatments! This new app will allow the nurses and physicians to assist patients from their home and allow them to treat themselves. I would think this would be kind of dangerous to trust an application for treatment. Are phone companies even worried about personal interaction or just making money?
I feel like in the last couple of years applications have grown into this huge thing and I think so everything will be able to be done of your iphone or smartphone. I mean more and more companies are using iphones or smartohones to do business from. I just got my cable and internet installed and now the technicians are using iphones to make their orders and have you sign the receipt electrically right on the iphone.
I think apps are also changing the way people interact with other people, you no longer have to be face to face with people to communicate, you can do so by text, bbm, facebook, twitter and now the iphone is coming out so you can video chat with someone from your phone. I mean everything thought it was amazing when you could do that from your computer but now you can from your phone. Soon will you even need a computer?
As far as in education, I think people are losing their sense to remember things because they can just google it on their phone. I’m guilty to that. If I need to find something that I don’t know or cant remember I’ll google it on my phone because it so convenient. Also, going along with an article that was previously posted about how you can learn Spanish from a phone application. Phone applications have become so advance you can download an app to help you learn a language. It’s a great theory but it takes away that personal level from teachers and students. Why take pay a lot of money to take a foreign language class when you can just get it on your phone.
i agree with the education aspect of it. A couple of weeks ago I asked my cousin to name the 5 great lakes and he had absolutley no idea what I was talking about, I even gave the acronym HOMES and he still didn't know, he's 15. About 2 minutes he told me what they were..only because he had google on his phone and looked it up. I think that the quality of education has gone down indefinately since we were in elementary and middle school.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with this. I would be totally lost if I didn't have my GPS on my phone to navigate me to unknown areas im not familiar with. Good post!
