App and Trap


What is an App?There are many websites on computer.Some are good and useful Most of them are bad and harmful.An app is a mini form of a website.As websites are designed apps are also designed by interested parties.So everyone should be careful in selecting Mobile apps.Some of them could be a trap.If we download and install apps on mobile whenever we come across them from displays,we are entering a dragon the coming out of which could turn into a dilemma ,passing through the horns of which could turn into a Herculian Task.So one has to be extremely careful in selecting apps.Most of the victims of app could be students who makes use of apps extensively.Too much involvement with Apps also involves downloading of apps without any bassis of looking into need ,choice,and benefit of it. The most affected are children,and youth of school going and college going nature.The charm of Smartphone for them is an open secret.There is even competition among them in going for better and better Smart phones which has the effect of overspending on them.Every day new smartphones are being produced my manufacturing companies and dumped into market for people to purchase.Most of such smartphone companies are of Foreign nature.So the enormous nature of spending money on them in purchasing, the benefit& profit goes to Forein manufacturers.The smaert phones produced in India are comparatively much less.Besides Foreign companies are invited to invest in India for producing Smart phones here.The benefit and profit comes to India only in low percentage.Besides students and youth are competing in purchasing smart phones of Foreign origin. Apart from all these the efeect of usage of smart phone through out day and night is also dangerous from health point of view.As mobile phones have influenced the day to day life of people as a matter of food and water the usage of it continuosly should be controlled.There are no much takers for phones produced in India as there is a wrong notion among Indians that foreign products are better for use.From time immemorial there is a strong belief among Indians that Electronics good originated from Japan are the best qualities in the world.To some extent this is right also.Similarly puchasing toys manufactured in china is acceptable to children is a fact we can never deny. In short the smart phones have conquered the mind of children and youth to a very large extent.They compete even in downloading and installing apps in their phone on a competitive basis. It is not only harmful by occupying extra storage space on the Mobile phone but also could lead to selecting wrong or harmful apps as in the case of visiting wrong harmful websites on computer. Nowadays,everyone knows that the future of web is without doubt belongs to Mobile apps.This is because it is so convenient to use and select.But one should be highly selective and should consider choosing an app wisely.Most of the people are accessing data and information by making use of Smart phones.This is why the Mobile market is so much grown up without which people can not survive successfully. In fact Mobile market is the one most successful in the world today and most profitable also. Mobile apps are actively and extensively used to day for managing data,shopping,Navigation,and for connecting with others.As a result,the days and night are spent on Smart phones as a revolution by using Mobile apps mainly because these paps are very fast in using.Mobile phone companies are also competing in new offers day by day.We can not pass a day without getting involved or hearing about a new offer.The competition is so hard and tough that some of the companies are merging together to defeat monopoly by some other company. The current apps designed are simple,flat and easy to use designs.Business people are going all out to increase their market presence felt by using Mobile apps.This is how Moblile application development became so important for all.It is therefore very important to choose the right app for right use and suiting for need. Nowadays,businessmen design different apps to promote competition So choosing app assume paramount importance. Today we can see all are getting up chanting App and Data as compared to earlier days chanting names of Gods and singing devotional songs. Business is basically meant for making profit.Various modes also have been introduced to promote the start up business.Every one engages in business first look for the benefit of business they are entering into. Also before spending they think twice to ensureit is profitable for them. Thus business is an area very shroud of employing tactics.As Mobile data and Mobile app have become so popular and easier the Mobiles Apps assume maximum importance.So business people also choose an design Apps very cautiously.So for most of the people who are users of Apps they should also be alert in using the simplest and in using right app .So the users also should become choosy to use apps.Users should see that they do not become victims of Apps in making rich business people richer.This indirectly makes the poor user poorer. So in this world of Smart phones and Mobile apps, users should take into account the experience is given priority by the Apps designer suiting to their need.With Mobiles having extremely less screen real estate which coupled with low connectivity can drastically affect the designs and execution of an app having brilliant user experience.One should ensure that the apps they use have in fact the right collaboration between the developers ,designers and the Quality analysis team. The Mobile app should be simpler taking into account their clear functioning pattern.Since apps are not websites creating a successful app will need correct and sharp focus.So simplicity of app is the most important aspect in selecting an app. Similarly selecting Platform for using an app is also of high importance.Microsoft was using windows aa their platforms.Nowadays there are many platforms and operating systems like IOS Similarly android and i Pad applications are also being used.So selecting the need and right Device is also very much relevantand in fact the essence of selecting app. While developing Mobile Apps the software development is also important.Continous software updating becomes a must for using right app. HTML(Hyper text mark up language) web services were present in the webworld right from the Exploration phase.Java script is also being used depending upon the need .The apps are still on the verge of finding new patterns and needs and is more or less an unending process.It will go on researching untirengly until final goal is met.The need of software also go on changing .so the process of develpment continues. So for the present, the choosing the right app for right need and of simplicity is what matters most. The software and Hardware Revolution in India took place between 1982&1986.During this period the Government was mostly concerned in exploring and implementation of various aspects relating to Digitalisation.Soft ware and Hard ware revolution was the main agenda of the Government.With constant attention to it and with Establishing IITs and similat institutions Government trained students to become ready for promoting Digital India.The first achievement was the computerisation of Railways in establishing proper methods for reservation and issuing if of Railway tickets.All over in India in all railway stations gradually Computer counters were opened and lakhs of younsters got job with Railways.Thereafter Government steadiltly moved to the manufacturing of mini computers and proper computers by importing Mother Boards to use in Computers.Computers thus found revolution in India and Institutions like ECIL,KELTRON ,UPTRON and many more started producing computers and digital equipments in India.Government gradually but cautiously invited Private enterprises also to get involved in the manufacure of Computers and Soft ware and hard wares.Thus Digitalisation found a new era in India when people and students became digital minded and more interest in Elecrtronics and othe Enginnering colleges.Enginnering colleges were opened in plenty to make India a perfect digital Nation.The process once started and developed can not be abandoned and so is being continued tirelessly since then.Thus gradually India became self sufficient. The digital India moved forward with more and more improvements on a regular basis.The next major achievement came in the year 2004.The SBI group adopted Core banking system as decided by SBI and TataConsultancy services.Over 250 branches of country's biggest lender went live on 21st oct 2004 on core banking systemimplemented by TCS,SBI's prime system integrato for the core banking and trade finance technology solutions.By March 2005 ,2000 branches across the country was to be brought under CBS.Over 60 percent of the Bank business by 2006 the bank expected to cover90 percent of business under the CBS.Thereafter the entire banking system in India was to change into Core Banking. The biggest benefit of CBSwas that the transaction cost was to be sufficiently reduced.By around 15 percent to begin with to make it much more in course of time.Later on India achieved this benefit throughout India making banking system so transperent.After full implementation the Nation was to become capable of handling 100 million customers 1,00,000 users and 25 million transactions a day. Thus the process of Digital India began at the TIFR(Tata Institute of Fundamental Research) in Bombay(Now Mumbai)in 1955 has passed through many phases and the innovation process is being continued as an unending process even today. While the Core Banking System made Banking a pleasant experience and people enjoyed Bank and relationship with them. However,the various measures employed in the pretext of curbing corruption had made it a nightmare today with various kinds of bank charges and restrictions.The minimum balance restriction made it a barrier for poor.The innovation process has come to the latest level of making own Apps and making use of Apps for every purpose.Now Government has also introduced many apps of payment process .The Goverment has individual apps also in use for various purposes.Introduction of payment banks has made it a monopoly for some people to make use of banks liberally while for common people it has distanced Banks from them.Now people have even accepted the concept of making purchases in Malls and on line as though it is the essence of Digital India.The innovations and attempts to improve Bank Transactions easier are being explored even today as an unending process The concept of Cashless India through Digital India still remains wherefrom it started and use of cash is still being continued as it was earlier.Cities like Mumbai which are advanced in Industrial and Cosmopolitan nature can not do away without cash. In Kerala in the olden days App was a word used to indicate Trap.People used to say Iam in an App which meant they are in a Trap. So let us try to make use of Apps wisely by selecting right app for right use according to the choice of the user.Also one should be careful in the use of apps only when there is an absolute need and not as a routine to shine better than others.Thus Mobile Apps which are boons for humanity should be used wiesly only when required.Otherwise one will not know the damage it does to their pocket by pinching it on a continous basis.Especially for students and youngsters often it amounts to not only pinching their pockets but those of their parents as well.
