If you’re a parent to young children, you can likely relate to how difficult it can be to keep the little tots entertained when you’re out and about. Think screaming temper-tantrums in the grocery store-yikes.
The introduction of smartphones and tablets into society has significantly changed the way many parents keep their children occupied. And it’s not just teenagers watching a movie on a tablet, but children as young as infants are the target of many products and mobile applications.
A great example is the Apptivity Monkey from Fisher-Price toys. This is a plush monkey that plays different songs and speech patterns when the child squeezes the hands or feet.
The Apptivity Monkey can house a smartphone safely in its belly which the child can interact with, and there are Fisher-Price apps designed and built specifically for this toy that are fully interactive and react to the squeezing of the toy’s hands and feet.
Another way parents can use mobile technology to keep kids occupied is streaming services for movies and videos like Netflix Just For Kids and Toys R Us Movies, which can be used on mobile tablet devices. These services have content which is directly marketed for children.
Using mobile technology to play with your children can be a great way for them to learn, have fun and be entertained.
How do you use mobile technology with your kids?
If you’re a regular mobile device user then you’re familiar with that sinking feeling when you look down at your phone and see it’s at 20 percent and dwindling. As our use of mobile devices continues to rise, this problem will only get worse.
So, here are some tips to stay charged and connected:
1. Buy an extended battery case.
The Mophie Pack is a great case for the iPhone. It’s a little heavy, but it’ll get you through a full day of using your phone.
2. Find a charging station.
There are a lot of charging stations in public places, like Bright Box and the Charge All universal mobile phone charging stations. These options, when available, can be a great way for panicky smartphone users to top off their battery while having a coffee or a drink at the same time.
3. Use the USB connectivity in your car.
Many new cars have this built right into the dashboard, and you can usually play your music through the car too. Just remember to plug your phone in when you go for a drive to avoid getting to your location with a drained battery.
4. Buy a complete mobile battery charging station.
One product we like for the mobile user who needs a lot of power while on the go is the Power Bag. This is a charging station in a backpack that can charge multiple devices at once through the use of an onboard battery. You can even charge different device brands, such as an Android phone, your iPad and your iPhone all at once. Just make sure the backpack battery is charged!
5. Go green.
There are a number of solar powered charging gadgets for mobile phones like the EnerPlex from Ascent Solar Technologies. The EnerPlex has a solar panel built into a protective case for the phone which, according to the company’s claims, will greatly increase the phone’s battery life.
Long gone are the days when you would have to drive over to the bank, park, go inside and wait in line for the teller just to make a deposit. Today, the majority of your banking can be done through your smartphone or tablet.
Banking has never been easier- or more convenient.
Major banks recognized the importance of mobile banking and the high demand from their customers, and so they entered the app business. Now, most banks have apps that customers can use to transfer money, check their balance and even take a picture of a check to make a deposit.
Although you can’t withdrawal cash and have it spit out the bottom of your iPad (unfortunately!), mobile banking has had a huge impact on our lifestyle. It’s less likely you’ll be late on a payment-even if you forget to mail a check, chances are you can make a payment right from your phone.
Mobile banking also has a huge impact on the life of those with mobility or health issues. With mobile technology such as banking apps, people can maintain their autonomy.
