Abstract
This paper talks about the use of Smartphone applications (apps) in relation to communication and organization in presentation readiness as well as the effects of the Smartphone on business in general. The Smartphone can be a lifesaver when giving presentations on the road. There are various apps that can turn your phone into a portable presentation device. The Smartphone as a presentation device eliminates the need to lug your laptop around. You can also use the social media networks to conduct business on a wider scale. The Smartphone has also allowed business to be conducted in non-traditional ways. Employees are now able to conduct business through their phones no matter where they are at. Several Smartphone apps allow people to multi-task more efficiently. Smaller businesses can run almost every aspect of their company from their Smartphones. The increased use of Smartphones can lead to security issues if it is lost. There has also been a decline in the social etiquette of the office.
I remember when the first cell phone came out in the early 80’s. We called it “the brick” because that is what it looked like. It was expensive and not very effective. Over the years, advances in technology and thinking have greatly improved the effectiveness of cell phones as well as reducing the size of the phone. Over the last 15 years, the new “must have” item has been the Smartphone. A Smartphone is a mobile phone with added features that make it “smarter” (Unuth, n.d., para. 1). In a nutshell, these features, known as apps, give the phone the ability to be used in more ways than a regular cell phone.
