Your Smart Phone, is Smarter than You Think

Immediately I get out of bed in the morning, before I reach for my hot cup of coffee, my trend has been to reach for my phone because I don’t sleep far from it anyway. I pick it to check for messages that could have come while asleep.
I know this may sound unproductive but again, maybe some of you could identify with me considering the fact that phones today are not just an advanced gadget people use to stay in touch with friends and relatives far and near, they are more than life lines to many small and big businesses alike.
I can tell you that I run, manage and operate my business on my phone. 80.5% of the things I do with my business cannot be done without my Smart Phone. It is my main means of communicating with people I have even never seen in my life, in places I have never stepped and in time zones so different from mine! Talk of turning the world into a global village, it was once just imagined but now it is a reality.
Sometimes I sit and think of the things our great ancestors could have done with this kind of technology. I say so because just to communicate with a place that’s like 200km for instance it took days on end but they did manage to achieve what they did.  Also just a few decades ago all we knew was posting letters and calling through optic fiber which costed so much .Now there is internet and smart phones. By a click of a button my message can travel thousands of kilometers in a split of a second, how amazing.
Just how many of us realize this potential that this kind of technology has brought along. I was recently telling a friend of mine that my very first business was started with the help of my smart phone. I communicated with suppliers on my phone, tracked my goods on my phone, received notification of arrival of my goods on my phone, advertised the sale of goods on my phone and sometimes sell through my phone.
However, today it is sad to note that many of us are still not paying attention and making use of these great facilities. Instead we have only paid attention to the social aspects that smart phones allow us to enjoy such as face booking, twitting which by the way if used properly themselves present great platforms for building business capacities. We are yet to realize the business potential that could help enhance our lives especially for us youths who are always complaining of lack of job opportunities.
Many of us youths for instance posses unique and useful skills and talents that can be show cased using social networks, to attract customers but many of us would rather use these platforms for unprofitable hook ups and unbeneficial exposure.
Did you know that today your smart phone can act as substitute for a desktop or laptop? In fact some smart phones are way better than the two. Invest in a good one if you can. Explore business ideas available, research on what others are doing to change the world, see how you too can do something to better yourself and those around you. Take the time to explore the world in your hands.
I hope that today can be the day that you stop to take notice of weather you have exploited the many benefits of your mobile smart phone. I hope that today you can realize that your phone is smarter than you really think it is.
