In “The Mobile Browser Is Dead, Long Live the App” by Ewan Spence addressed how times are changing and people are no longer using web browser like before. According to the article 14% of people still use web browsers. Although I still use web browser, google is my go to for everything. I usually use Explorer then I log onto Google as my starting point and then from there I end up on YouTube or another app. Could it be that I have grown accustom to using my web browser, and app are still fairly new to me. Ewan Spence suggested “Where a mobile web promotes access for everyone, the app model hands the gatekeeper the power of access and discovery.” According to the graph 32% of people use their mobile device for gaming. That’s pretty high, but it does make sense. I have never been into gaming so I don’t fit into that statics, however I do know many people who spend hours on their mobile device playing games. When shopping I tend to look up deals and coupons on RetailMeNot App before making my purchases , I have saved so much money and found really great deals on RetailMeNot.
In “The Rise of Chat App” I use WhatsApp daily it helps me to connect with my friends and family. What I like about WhatsApp is there is no cost it is completely free, as long as there is web connection you can interact with video or audio chat. Chat App has made it convenient to stay connected with people all over the world. I am not connected to SnapChat , nor am I interested in joining SnapChat to me it just too invasive, however initially when Instagram first came out I felt the same way, and now I use Instagram to network and connect with people who have the same interest( fitness and healthy living) has myself.
