Smart Phones Applications for an Easy Life



Smart Phones Applications
Mobile application development has become the immense growing business because a large number of smart phones are being sold every day. Thousands of programs for Androids and iPhones are developed along with blackberry apps; the smart phones are easy to use and provide customized settings and features.
The development companies have the applications (Speech Recognition Software, Location-Based Technology, Facebook, Twitter, Ditto, etc.) that allow the users to create their own programs and socialize them. These templates are for different video games, photographs, quizzes or gifts. The companies charge nominal price for the templates or take royalty of the profits made by the programs. This is the simple way that enhances the revenue of the specialized companies. Now a day, people browse through the internet to find the most suitable smartphone or to compare the prices. After selecting the price they buy online from popular shopping sites or visit the stores of their area.

Different phone software application can tap into GPS in the device to find out the exact location of the cell phone.  And people can download a special program that helps their friends to know about their location. They can disconnect the application if they are worried about their privacy.

Parents can use GPS system to track their children and set some limits on the apps and if their children cross that limit it alerts the parents. This way, companies charge extra and make more revenue.
Smarts phones have become more stylish with huge storage capacity and other features. People can download applications to enhance the storage space. These phones have great computing power and getting faster with every new model.
Game Applications for Smartphones
Mostly, the number of programs is being designed for the teenagers. Many youngsters like the programs and play games (Angry Birds, Uno, Fruit Ninja and X Construction) with each other. They share their scores and wins with their friends. They enjoy the social media activities and keep in touch with their friends with smart phones. They treat their devices as tiny computers.

Mobile application development has become an open market. Any computer professional with necessary techniques can develop and sell his programs. Everyone can participate in this market because it is a self-governing economic environment.

When someone asks me what i develop...

I hate going to social gatherings.
Meeting new people is on the top of "Things i Hate doing the MOST!!"...especially if it includes old people.

You must be wondering i am a loner or some kind of a freak who doesn't like having friends around him. Some of you might think i have attitude problems. Some of you must be picturing me as a short snobby millionaire; grey hair standing on the edges on my ear; spectacles sitting on the far edge on my nose; a derby hat on my head (tilted to one side); one hand tucked inside my pocket; a cane in the other hand; a fierce frown on my face; sitting on piles of money (like Scrooge Mc'Duck).

In reality, i am not at all like that...i'm just a DEVELOPER...a plain ol' developer!!
Really?? A developer hating anything besides coding and computer screen...you're a weird man!!

Actually, you're not getting the point here...
You see, when i go to gatherings or when i meet new people, i always end up being interviewed by the humans walking around me (well yeah, i don't think we developers are considered humans any more). Along with all other sorts of questions, 1 very basic question that everyone NEVER seems to forget asking is:
What do you Do?
Me: I'm a developer
What do you develop?
& i go *blank*

I mean what sort of question is this? I said am a developer...right?? Don't you know what do developers do?? They develop...I am a developer...so i develop...What's so hard to understand??

I tried answering it once to daddy's old friend
Me: I develop softwares (followed by a fake smile)
What's a software??
...
& i felt like hitting him so hard on the head that he forgets his monocle is to be placed over his eye and his pipe in his mouth...(Grrrrrr!!)
i tried to remember the definition of a software from my school times but in vain (yeahhh you got it right...i wasn't the high achiever of the batch).

Me: It's what makes a computer run...(no wait, that's the operating system)
It's what we run on computers...u know the applications & stuff
Applications?? We used to write applications on papers back in our days & there were no developers writing them for us, how things have changed now... (& here goes another long story of how things were back in their times)
Aaarrrgghhh!! Give me a break old man!!

So, you see people who don't know anything about this ask questions that makes no sense & either i end up getting lectured about the generation gaps or they all think i'm lying as i don't know the answers to the very basic questions even.

Is it my fault that they don't know what developers develop?? Or what's a software?? Or what applications run on computers??
I am a developer & I develop!!
THE END
