Benefits of Social Media and Smartphone Applications: Yoshikazu Ikeda, Otani University, Japan
The users for Social Networking Services
(SNS) such as “Facebook” and “Twitter”
are increasing rapidly and globally. The
social-media capability is powerful in
particular when used by Smartphone
devices such as “iPhone” and “Android”
mobile phones. In this presentation we
introduce the social impact of Social
Media or SNS with several recent
examples. Some of them are initiating
radically political movements for
governmental reforms. In other daily
cases, they are very beneficial for
consumer communications and to share
information among friends. We report
that for the emergency case of the huge
earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011
in Japan, SNS was very helpful. Most of
Smartphone applications/services are
free or very inexpensive but useful to
consumers. Prices of the consumer ICT
devices and the networking services
become less and less costly every year.
We conclude that the social media and
consumer communications should be much
promoted for sustainable development of
the society. |
