Smartphones improve on one’s social life by granting access to social networking sites even on the go thereby contributing to improving social engagement. Companies like Motorola and Palm have taken things a step further by designing phones that merge different communications and social networks into a single tool, allowing you to interact with all of them from one spot-a socialite’s delight.

Communication in the work placeCompanies can now handle business applications using mobile devices of different vendors. Business communications like CRM (Customer Relationship Management) can be used with smartphones. As they are also compact and provide unprecedented access to email one doesn’t have to be on a desktop to exchange emails and business plans.

Conclusion As we have noted in the above slides smartphones are
making a positive impact in society and their constant increase cannot be ignored. They may have their disadvantages like everything in this world but what is clear is that overally their advantages out-weigh their disadvantages. I feel that these have not only been a benefit to social life but to economic life aswel.
