TECHNOLOGY TIPS – DEBUNKING THE MYTHS OF MOBILE DEVICES

Cathy Mallers PhotoConsumers are accustomed to static network internet activities but mobile computing has definitely gotten the attention of most consumers. Here are some mobile computing myths you should know about.

Lack in Processing Power Key Size and Screen

While they are smaller in size as compared to the conventional desktops people were so used to in decades passed mobile devices are near as powerful as large computers. It’s true that things like the keyboard mouse monitor printer and other peripherals are lacking but the smaller devices are capable of functioning like a true bigger computer does.

Most of these devices already come now with usable screens QWERTY keyboards and add-on small peripherals like earphones and others. With new apps making up the difference you can come very close to fully mobile computing experience.

A Distraction to the Younger Generations

As the years unfold before us mobile devices appear to be distracting the younger generations from their daily lives. However a personal desktop computer can be as much a distraction. This is a challenge that many technology companies face to bring high-end devices that feature engagement contents to the learning package so that users are not distracted but inspired to use them for better purposes. If the devices do not come with contents that can engage users to learn the essence of mobile computing then those devices can be nothing but real distraction.

The Cost Barriers and Inaccessibility

People would always say mobile devices are expensive and thus inaccessible. However these devices are affordable because of their capability to literally bring mobile computing to the fingertips of users. Most of the mobile devices today are pre-loaded with features that make them ready to access the Internet while others just require an add-on feature to create the same access.

Another point to debunk this myth is the fact that most high-end phones purchased today cost significantly less than in recent years. Furthermore networks are charging far lower prices so everyone has easier access to them.
