Mobile is the way of the future

By Erik Garcia


This year online sales went through the roof during Christmas time. It was the largest spike of online purchases in the history of the internet.

What was the cause of this jump? More people activating their smartphones on December 25, 2012. Yes on Christmas day there were more smart phones activated than any other year prior.

Who won this battle of the smartphone. The winner in the smartphone game was the Android who beat the iphone for the very first time. Thanks to the help from Samsung, the android phone has been gaining a ton of momentum in surpassing the iphone in sales. More android apps were also bought on the same day, almost doubling what was downloaded the previous year.

This is no mistake people. Do not underestimate the power of social media and the ability mobile devices are playing into our every day lives. As more and more people live there lives with a smart phone helping their daily habits, regiments, life styles, whatever it is, making their life a little more convenient, you will see a shift in the way we consume products.

How to avoid any mistakes in the future so your not left behind. The smart phone has changed the way we will function in life as a whole. It will change every thing we do. From shopping, learning, reading, playing, work out, hang out, pretty much everything we do except the way we eat our food. It is no wonder why so many people activated a smartphone this year, its a damn necessity if you ask me.

This is the fate of the world. Here is my conclusion on all this. What will happen in the future? Are we going to get closer as a society thanks to technology? Or will it only make us more distance? My guess is it will do both. For those who do not enjoy socializing and are more introverted will find that the web will be a place for them to avoid socializing and use alias names to keep their identity concealed. And then there are those who are going to love the ability to reach out to people much easier than ever before while following their every move.

2013 is sure to be a huge year for social media and it's major players. I guess we will have to wait it out and update you in a year from now to see if any of these predictions were right.
