Are you part of the "Apps Culture"?

Are you an adult? If so, the Pew Research Center believes that there is an 82% chance that you are a cell phone user.  What surprised me was that almost one quarter of adults in the US " now live in a household that has a cell phone but no landline phone".

It appears that the wide embrace of mobile technology has led to an "apps culture".  The cell phone has become a mini-computer allowing us to access the internet from anywhere.  Because of the widespread use of smart-phones, mobile-software applications or "apps" have developed into a large and ever expanding market.

Many institutions, organizations and businesses make apps available to the public in an effort make it easier to obtain information.  If your organization provides an app or is thinking about providing an app, you may want to see the stats available from Pew Research Center Publications.  Click the link to read their article "Rise of the "Apps Culture".
