Impact Of The
iPhone On Business: The
iphone is an awesome expansion in the
ability for individuals to communicate.
While some may dismiss the advent of the
iphone as a common electronics leisure item
designed to appeal to those with a need for
high tech ‘toys’, the reality of the matter
is that the expansion of any form of
communicative device has great potential
beyond mere leisure and can contribute
greatly to the infrastructure of the
economic stability of a nation.
Now, this may seem on the
surface to be a bold statement, but in
reality it is a somewhat reserved statement
considering the fact that all we need to due
is look at human history to see how
tremendous the impact of the advent of
communications devices.
In the 1860’s, people learned of the
Lincoln/Douglas debates by their reprinting
of their words in newspapers.
Now, what is more effective – reprinting
speeches in a newspaper or watching the
speeches unfold on television.
Then again, look at television for that
matter. Once considered an obscene leisure
item that offered little value, television
is now the primary means (for better or for
worse) in which people receive their news
and information.
The advent and expansion of
any form of
communicative device can have a
huge impact.
When a device such as the iphone comes along
and dramatically combines separate (and
formerly bulky) communications devices into
one package, the impact can not be anything
less that wildly dramatic.
A business needs to move
quickly in order to maximize its profit
potential. In other words, anything that
contributes to lag time or a slowing down of
the ability of a business to move about its,
well, business keeps the business from
driving its resources towards where it will
generate maximum income.
For example, relying on receiving snail mail
letters for important requested information
is far, far less than desirable than email
because the wait time on reception of a
letter can be three days while a email is
delivered in split seconds.
There is not comparison between the two.
With snail mail, up to three days of
productivity can be lost. With the
iphone
and its resultant impact, the ability to
speed up productivity is significantly
magnified.
As such, the impact of the iphone on
business can never be underestimated and in
a short amount of time the massive positive
effects of it on businesses will clearly
become self apparent.
In that regard, the iphone
clearly endorses it self quite well in terms
of stimulating purchasing interest.
