The Rise And Rise Of The #Smartphone @SamsungMobileSA #SmartphoneApps

Hi Friends,

Can you even imagine your life without your smartphone? It hasn’t taken long for these must-have devices to become an essential and integral part of daily life. It’s estimated that as much as 58.7% of the world use smartphones.[i] But how have they changed the way we do things?

Well, just 10 years ago, most people couldn’t conceive of having an actual conversation with a mobile device. Now it’s common to have an intricate chat with your very own built-in personal assistant, like Bixby. From getting directions and restaurant recommendations to dictating e-mails or ordering flowers online for your mom, smartphones and their assistants can do just about anything.

Today most people simply can’t imagine life without one – smartphones have evolved to such an extent that they’ve moved way beyond mere communication to being a constant companion that’s geared to learn your unique needs and make your life easier to navigate. The millions of apps that can be downloaded and used can help you track your health, control your connected appliances, give you directions, remind you of appointments and even edit videos or build websites.

Doing business on a mobile device has gone beyond sitting in a coffee shop making endless phone calls. E-mails, internet research, design and invoicing are all now possible. Capturing images and videos on the go has never been easier and in-built security features like Knox make it entirely safe to conduct business wherever you are. When it comes to education, learners not only have access to the internet but also to the world’s best teachers and experts, through their devices.

According to a survey, almost half of Smartphone users use their phones to access health-related services.[ii] Whether it’s to use an app to monitor glucose levels or verify a prescription, a fitness tracker or healthy recipe finder, smartphones have impacted the way people interact with their own health and wellness.

Social media accounts for almost two hours each day, with the top apps being YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter.[iii]

In 2012, the editor of the website The Next Web, catalogued devices that were made obsolete by smartphones. His list included MP3 players, point-and-shoot digital cameras, GPS, alarm clocks, flashlights, handheld gaming systems, e-readers, voice recorders, dictionaries, infrared remotes and web-conferencing devices. This is a lot longer now.

A recent British poll indicated that using a smartphone to make phone calls doesn’t even reach the top 10 reasons for owning one. The majority of people cited the following regarding their smartphone use: texting – 88%; e-mail – 70%, Facebook – 62%, camera – 61%, reading news – 58%, online shopping - 56%, checking the weather – 54%, WhatsApp – 51%, Banking – 45%, watching videos on YouTube – 42%.[iv]

Craige Fleischer, Vice President of Integrated Mobility say, “Most people don’t realize that as early as 2001, Samsung was already building smartphones – the SPH-1300 came out in October that year. And that was just the beginning of the smartphone rise. From the BlackJack line to the Instinct, which was before Android, to the Omnia with TouchWiz and then the current star of the smartphone show – the Galaxy S line.”

Even with all the incredible tech now in the palm of your hand, the evolution of the smartphone is still in its infancy – technological innovation is consistently moving ahead of the curve, with giants like Samsung leading the race to intuitively address user’s future needs and desires.

17 Days To www.TheLifesWay.com 5th Birthday Celebrations #5YearsofTheLifesWay #27Dec2017 #Patience

Hi Friends,

Though it's way beyond the 5th birthday of The Life's Way (27th December in 2017), as there was no internet connection available for more than a month, I could not do any of the blog posts for so long. Patience is a virtue which is definitely needed by all. I have waited long enough for everything in my life. Unless and until I deserved the same, I was never granted the same by the universe, but things changed with The Life's Way bringing great luck in my life. My first big win was a laptop from HP for a post which I wrote with all my heart. When my friends read it before I posted the same, they were cracking jokes about me but I knew that post has winner written all over as those were the songs I loved. 

The Life's Way has patiently waited for all the great things in life to come and pampered a lot of PR companies by posting for free and some has used the same to their advantages. It's ok to be getting used but once or twice they shall realize that we all need money to run the day to day business. If I am not getting sponsored posts and campaigns, I won't be doing free posts too. Even posting press releases takes a lot of time along with photos and captions and handles to be shared etc like I share. It takes me at least 1 hour per post even when all the content is written in the press release as you need to read it and then check for images and then post labels, twitter links, website URLs etc. I am sacrificing important parts of my life to post something on my social media channels so I need to get Return on my time in terms of money or kind. 

But it's good in the end, once you realize that the other person is taking advantage of you and then you stop doing his/her work, then after a while they will realize the importance you bring to the table. I am waiting for those right moment patiently. Even if it happens in a long long time, it's fine by me and if it happens sooner that I will be happy. Also, another change is that I will stop asking for gadgets to be sponsored as I will buy what is the best in the market as compared to used/old/reviewed units sent to keep rather I will ask directly for money to be paid into my bank account. Why waste time on things I don't want in my life and spend my energy keeping them unused at my home?

16 Days                                                                                                                                      18 Days

Are You #CyberSmart and #CyberSure in Digital World?

Hi Friends,

This is the time of the century where we are always connected and always online and if we are not, we feel that we are missing something. In this connected world, we are dependent on our devices whatever it may be the smartphone, tablet or notebooks or computers and with time these devices begin to control us as we don’t remember our passwords and totally dependent on the login details automatically saved and provided by our gadgets. This brings us to a total halt when we change devices or someone cracks our passwords or the network we use to store the same has been hacked by someone. 

It’s easy these days as we have unlimited apps which store our data and can be easily hacked so we need to be Cybersmart all the time. It’s a daily effort and regular cleaning of our gadgets which can enable us to secure our passwords and also changing passwords at regular intervals can help a lot. There is no shortcut to this but if you want to secure your data and passwords, you have to take the road less traveled. We have seen in the past a lot of hacking has been done on celebrities mobile phones and cloud data of various gaming networks leading to a lot of demotivation to trust in the new technology.

There are stills laws planned out or in the process of creation if any crime happens to you so you need to be Cybersure that your insurance protects you in the case of cybercrime. People are not aware of these things and to make them aware, King Price has launched an online portal to learn more about the same as well as given a chance to win a share of R1 Million in Bitcoins or cash. The deadlines are near and during this holiday season, you can easily find time to check out this game and show your skills while answering some good questions related to Cyber Security which will make you Cyber-savvy.

Check out the www.cybersure.co.za and if you complete all 3 levels your name will be entered into a lucky draw to win. The game is just like Space Invaders which we used to play when we were young and I am sure you must have mastered this game. I have tried my luck in this game and got several entries as and when I have played but I don't think my score will be in the top players but anyways the knowledge I have acquired has really made me think about the Cyber Security and also that it's in my hands to stay protected in the digital world. 

Cheers!!!
