What's With Apps?

Truth be told, I was never really that interested to see all the types of apps in this world for the smartphone. Like no kidding, there are so many of the same kind of apps that make it so hard to decide which is the best to be used.

Not to mention that I have that perspective that apps of a phone were just toys in a phone. Something that people could play around with, without any real purpose or reason as to why they are created other than the thought of using it to fool around or just to kill time. Believe me, I didn't give much thought as to how an app was born out of creativity besides all that mumbo jumbo coding, programmings, flow charts, and algorithms that could have been involved to create it. The thought of all those things that pertained to computer codes tend to switch off the button that's on me.

I would say after attending this event, Samsung Appstar 2012. I gained a new perspective of what it was like for those to have come up with ideas for new apps. Although I have not been following up on the progress of those app creators for the last 5 months, but I am sure I start to understand that creating an app is not by sitting in front of a computer or even being isolated away from the world just to generate and bring forth a new idea.

Ideas of new apps in this ever evolving world of tech comes from our everyday lives. It seem fairly true that people are just getting very dependent on their gadgets, or their heads could have been too occupied up to the point of not being able to pay attention to certain chores that maybe insignificant but rather devastating if not being attended carefully. For example, locking up the car before leaving it, or even paying up utility bills monthly.

Due to all this forms of carelessness, new ideas have to be formed to BE that solution to the problem that is at hand. All that was presented at the event today by the contestants was not something new to them, rather familiar and closed to the heart of the creator (app creator). May I emphasized the "closed to the heart" phase.  This is because it is something that we face everyday that is a challenge. All this apps and ideas that were brought forth are ideas that could help the community live a better lifestyle without wasting too much time, or even getting certain things done right, or being protected in a very practical way in our everyday lives.

(Hint: those were the ones that winners for the Samsung Appstar 2012)

To wrap it up, I will start to look around for solutions that could be a lifestyle changing experience, and therefore I encourage that others should not take apps for granted, and ermmm.. contribute in anyway you can that you may play a role in the community in this modern era. I mean like seriously, there's so much that needed attention and a solution to it. Make A World A Better Place to be In.
