Internet development.
Internet is one of the biggest technology developments of the 20th century. The first access to internet, by casual population, was made in 1989.
Since then, the "Internet Service Providers" are offering to serve customers with
Internet in exchange of a monthly fee. As competition grew, fees decreased, forcing
providers to combine.
The growth of technology.
But technology keeps on growing and improving. It started with a simple desktop computer in the 70s, to a laptop, Mobile phones, smart watches, smart tv, etc now in the 21st century!
And because 53% of internet users are using it on a mobile phone, then today, I am going to show you one of the latest mobile phones in the market and explain to you how mobile phones, in general, impact consumers live.
Why? Simple!
For the past 20years, consumers have been more involved with technology and internet has taken a big place in their everyday lives. People likes to search information online as it is fast and less time consuming.
The technology developers know it. And in 1999, the Wi-Fi has been created. It allows consumers to have access to internet thru a wireless card inserted in their device. Depending on the number of access points, a wireless network can be as small as an office or as large as a city.
So, it is fair to say that everything came together from this point!
- The Wi-Fi connection with internet is faster and faster, more secure, even cheaper every year allowing more consumers to have access to internet.
- It also, allowed the creation of application for mobile phone to make its use even simple.
For example, the search engine websites!
I am going to show you now on my phone how easy it is to look for information.
Once my phone is open, I just need to click on my search engine application, in this case I am going to use Google as it is the most popular one in the world, I type whatever I want to know in the bar section ("for example: how to say HI in Chinese") and by pressing search I have all the results that I need! Just like that!
It’s easier for consumers to look for whatever answers they need on the phone and have an instant response instead of going to the library or somewhere else.
Social Media: a NEW generation!
In 2004, a new generation has been born with the creation of social media and its very first one Facebook, followed by Youtube, Instagram, Tiktok.
Consumers love sharing their idea, communicating with other people all over the world and staying in touch with family and friends that lives on the other side of the world.
One trend that has been more popular than others over the years are videos sharing; With YouTube being n1 top website worldwide.
- Lets have a look at few Fun facts about video consumption –
• Video is the number 1 source of information for 66% of people.
• More than 75% of all video views come from mobile devices.
• 93% of businesses gain new customers because of branded video content.
• People spend an average of 6 hours and 48 minutes per week watching online videos.
The global pandemic that changed people's lives.
It is not a secret for everyone now to say that mobile phones are essential and are part of our everyday lives, especially since 2020 and the global covid-19 pandemic where the physical world shut down forcing population to rely on their technology to communicate with others, buy necessities or entertain themselves.
Always more.
In conclusion, I want to say that technology and in this case: mobile phones are no longer about what you can do with it, but it is all about doing more, all of the time.\
