The split second our precious phone could touch social media and the internet it was over, we were hooked and there is no turning back.

We could start our story with vendors or marketers but I will discuss some of the more main stream ideology first, i.e. what makes a smartphone a smartphone by definition. From a technological point the discussion is fairly simple really, you take a small LCD screen, battery, cellular radio, CPU and RAM plus a really cool operating system. Voilà! A cell phone.

...medium-size, asset-management group based in the US. Mashkin consists of three primary divisions: a mutual fund company with $10 billion in assets; a separate, but closely affiliated asset management company with $15 billion in assets; and a financial services company. Since the early 1990s, these three enterprises have shared the same client database and other software programs. The first program utilized, an inexpensive, off-the-shelf system with limited capabilities, was used by the sales department of both the mutual fund company and the asset management company primarily to store names, telephone numbers, and notes of salespeople. A second program was used by the IT department to update the database as new clients arrived and record daily sales data. A third program was installed at all internal and external salespersons’ workstations and laptops to provide current data to the sales force. In addition, the Client Service Call Center used a separate designed-in-house program to track incoming call activity. The technology systems utilized by employees in Mashkin were designed to support general sales activities. None of the software was designed specifically for the needs of their financial divisions (either the mutual fund or the asset management side) and lacked the analytic functionality as well as the collaborative functionality to interface with other systems within Mashkin.
