Most of you guys know me, but you don’t know a lot about me. So I’m going to tell you just a little bit about myself… Interned at SAP startup focus program and this is a picture we took after making a worldwide video competition. Sound impressive? Its actually a lot easier than you’d think, and that’s how most of the technical stuff you learn in MIS is. Mobile technologies, and all the new fancy things sound really really cool, but when you boil it down, it just comes down to tying together really simple things.
Ask everyone what kind of phone they haveMet a late graduate (30) said he grew up in college without the cellphone. How would I do anything without it? We all grew up from flip phones right?Whats all the rage with smartphones
This is how we currently use mobile phones, if we are not using our phones as distractions, checking the weather, checking the time, playing games, checking facebook or checking email. But Marc, you said we just broke the barriers of space and time and this is where we ended up? Playing temple run and instagraming food?
Then explain going back to theme of removing barriers of space and time how it naturally makes sense that people use mobile when they need something immediately. Quick and fast When we are looking for local things, like news, weather, places to eat, what to buy, and how to get somewhere. The rest of the time spent using the phone is really just to “stay connected” through transferring information OR wasting time.
