“Smartphone” and “SmartThings” are new tech-driven
terminologies that have re-defined human lives or societies in three
dimensional living spaces – (a) personal communication, (b) working tool
assistance, and (d) personal entertainment experience. “Personal communication”
has provided both convenient and flexible methods of personal communication –
anywhere and anytime; including affordable and cheaper costs per minute or
bandwidth of data speed and data usage. Text messages, live-time video
conference and more are added into Smartphone and Smart devices. “Working tool
assistance” is all embedded hi-tech functions and computing applications
automatically or manually executed by users to fulfill special tasks. GPS, Map,
and thousands of new apps are monthly and yearly added to provide more working
tool assistances in all perspectives of personal and business activities.
Interactive restaurant menus, shopping picture and video catalogs and mobile
banking apps are among daily convenient tools. People can take control more of
their lifestyles and working behaviors from Smartphone and Smart handheld
devices. “Personal entertainment experience” is a unique combined quality of
audio, video, live stream TV, HD movies, HD video clips or home-made movies,
music (download and live music), social media and social networking, and
virtual music instruments are among new high-quality features available in
Smartphone and Smart handheld devices. People have reduced their times sitting
in front of TVs, audio and video systems by adopting their personal
entertainment lifestyles into touch-functioning-and-tiny-screen tools. Blue-tooth , Wi -Fi,
3G/4G and docking-adapter (USB, fire-wire cable, and others) can connect one
device into any compatible system like A/V systems in a car, bedroom, living
room, kitchen and office.
Such changes were unimaginable things in 1980s and 1990s.
Business firms can serve Today’s consumers in different manners and
expectations that the former used to do or could do in 2 or 3 decades ago.
Sales revenues, business lines, express shipping methods, shopping and service
platforms are changed by consumers’ spending habits and high-tech know-how.
BlackBerry, Apple iPhone and iPad, and other Android-running-OS Smartphone
makers have competed with one another in offering affordable and high-speed
interactive devices. Prices are controlled, while more free-of-charge added
features are included.
Twitter, Facebook and blogs have reshaped and revolutionized
personal and public living spaces. In a personal attitude or life, people can
communicate in a massive scale or customized option to friends, followers and
audiences in one demographic zone or multiple demographic ones. Business
organizations can also advertise new products and services over a broader
audience at a lower budget and higher effectiveness. “Smart” is used to deliver
meanings of new technologies and humanized intelligent values into consumer
electronic products, home appliances and office equipment. Automobiles,
elevators and machines are also installed with Smart devices.
