Week 4 EOC: The Cult of Apple

For my app, it would be something that runs in the background while you phone was on, and it would take information of what your favorite apps are. The apps you use most, would be automatically be put on the homepage of your phone. The less you use an app, the farther away it would be from the homepage. So for people who are constantly on their phone, when they need to quickly access something, it's right there on the front page. It helps for teens who want to capture that quick moment or who want to stay updated on the latest celebrity tweet.  Or for a working-class adult who wants to check the days stocks or the breaking news everyone is talking about. It's not much of a difference but it makes finding apps simpler as long as you know how often it's used. The app would be called "Simply Sorted" and would be free of charge on the iTunes and Google Play stores.

Week 3 EOC: My Demographics

"One thing that all of the Millennials have in common is their utter fluency and comfort with digital technology." (73) This statement is 100% true, as my I'm the one my family turns to when they need help with the computer or their phone. I'm a die-hard Android user, but when my sister needs help with her iPhone I can easily answer her questions. My brother is a millennial as well. but all he can do is use different IOS'. Growing up surrounded by technology helped me become well versed and sparked my love for web design.  Even though I don't notice it myself I'm constantly checking social media and conversating with friends I made around the world through even more technology. When it comes to video games, I used to be really into them, I would choose to stay at home and play on the Xbox or Wii. But now I only own 2 games. both being idle games on my phone. As we discussed last week, everything is on mobile, everything a millennial needs can be accessed on a smart phone. Anything from music to writing a paper or taking notes can be done, and if not directly, there will always be an app for it. I've grown so used to using technology that I can type faster than I can write and find taking notes electronically is easier than in a physical notebook. When I was in high school the administration took note of this fact and encouraged students to have everything stored electronically and to use our laptops and phones in class. The negative side to being a millennial is now that everything can be found online we're becoming lazy and don't solve things ourselves, and we just  hope the answer can be found online
