In The App Date They have just submitted their third report on mobile applications. It does not seem so far the moment in which we lived without a smartphone or smartphone and yet we have all assumed that it is like an extension of the hand with which we can access games, information, entertainment and yes, some call we also make from time to time in when. Three years ago I told my cousin, who does not live in Madrid, that we would walk looking at the screen even more absent and isolated from each other in the capital of Spain. Currently that is a reality although the truth is that we do not stop talking and interacting with a lot of people, some of them that we have not seen in life although we share our experiences or preferences with it.
So The App Date has presented a study, the previous one is from March 2012 that we already commented here, and in this semester there have still been changes:
- 37% of children and young people between 10 and 15 years old already have a smartphone. The most downloaded applications are leisure, social networks and instant messaging
- 1 in 4 Spaniards use applications and 2.7 million apps are downloaded daily
- Spain is the second European country in number of smartphones and tablets with 18 and 2.2 million respectively
- 20 million computers, 18 million smartphones, 2.2 million tablets, 1.4 million televisions with Internet connection, download applications
I still think that Many of the applications we download, most of them free and some paid, are for our children to those who see how they share with us their adventures, their progress, their experiences with applications and with devices. Better how much more tactile. As those kids grow up and have the option of having their own mobile phone they make the leap to social networks (probably Facebook, Tuenti or Twitter), to talk with their friends (sure WhatsApp!) And to take photos (it can be Instagram) . And we are already being forced to use new words such as "te guasapeo", "te feisbuqueo" or "send me a deeme on Twitter".
Here is the spectacular infographic also created by Neo Labels Company:
