Adopting Mobile Solutions In This New Decade.

Adopting Mobile Solutions In This New Decade.

Nowadays most people, organizations/businesses whether small or large are now depending on mobile solutions, as we can all see how the use of smartphones is gradually increasing day by day.

Some may ask me, why I'm talking about the next 10 years and not just this year? Ten years ago, there was no way we could have been running live calls online! We are now in a new decade and I believe strongly that we need to plan - not just for 2020 - but for the new decade. Time runs so fast that one year passes by within the twinkle of an eye.

I believe things are going to change so fast in the next 10 years and we have to be prepared. If the past 10 or 20 years can bring up Uber (founded in 2009), Airbnb (launched in 2008), the first functional banking app (launched in 2011), Google Translate (released in 2010), and other innovations that have changed the world, how will the next 10 years look like?

Mobile Technologies is going to dramatically change the way we live from:

  1. Artificial Intelligence: AI has found a major role in the mobile application industry over the last few years and now has a bright future in the mobile app industry. Over the past years, developers have made some awesome apps that are based on this powerful and advanced technology. There have been many apps developed on this technology, some of the most popular apps are Siri, Alexa, Cortana, and Google Assistant.

  2. Translation: Support for more languages has been added gradually to the translation apps and you can now use your phone to translate text or speech in real-time.

  3. Augmented Reality: App makers are slowly discovering new applications for augmented reality and making apps, from the wildfire miracle, Pokemon GO to Doodle Lens, which lets you create and shoot animated doodles in real-time. Another example of this is the face filter options on Snapchat, the ‘fun’ aspect of AR is already being discovered and being used.

  4. Payments: Mobile payments are booming and you can use services like Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Samsung Pay to make contactless payments.

  5. Transportation: Transportation is made easier with Ride-sharing apps, such as Lyft and Uber, which have been dominating for years now as well. Even car-sharing apps, such as Zipcar or Turo, are nothing new.

  6. Virtual Reality: These days, we see how virtual reality mobile app development gains ground for providing a completely immersive experience to the app users. The VR concept is going to make these activities more interesting, interactive, and engaging by providing a rich experience to app users.

  7. Wearable: The wearable devices have become the top favorite of the people, especially millennials. There is no denying the fact that wearables are utilized in a variety of sectors like banking, healthcare, finance, retail, etc. This development has given birth to several fitness apps for phones and smartwatches, alert on health status, keep the user informed, and updated.

  8. Local Business Apps: Having a mobile-friendly website is not the only way to stay ahead of the competition. Many mobile apps are available to businesses, both large and small that can boost the bottom line as well as keep your employees connected. Many apps can also help local businesses reach more customers, mobile customers and employees keep in contact with you and each other.

Mobile apps will continue to thrive. I hope that you will not be caught hugging the past when the future has shown up.

If you don't want to be left behind, stop thinking manually, and Integrate mobile technology and innovation into whatever you do.
