According to Philip Miles, an attorney smart phones are increasing productivity. He says imagine having two meetings scheduled for the same day but are few hours apart. You do not have to drive back to the office to collect stuff for the next meeting, you simply use your smart phone to look at its agenda and what you hope to achieve in the end. Traffic can be a gem, instead of getting you can park and start working though using your phone instead of wasting precious time. I strongly agree that smart phones have increased productivity.
Smart phones have brought about an educational revolution. According to Kristen Yarmey, a librarian, smart phones have grown in popularity . Smart phones allow students to explore general information sources to get a background familiarity with their topics. They provide many tools for conducting this basic exploratory work.
Nielson report that 31% of US mobile phone owners have a smart phone as of December 2010. According to figures for 2010 released by Gartner, smart phones accounted for 297 million (19%) of the 1.6 billion mobile phones sold that year. The team at Microsoft Research Redmond suggests that the number of smart phones browsing the Internet in the United States today has surpassed browsing by non-smart phones. And this clearly shows that they are affecting people positively.
I strongly support the idea that smart phones are an essential tool because their use saves time in cases of traffic gems. They also increase productivity as employers communicate with their employees whenever they need to do so. They also give room to work overtime without having to be in the office and thus increasing productivity. In education they have made research by student much fun and easier. They also allow people to communicate with their loved ones effectively even though they might be staying miles apart.
