...My review was based on different smart phones and its effect or importance. I did my review on the iPhone and BlackBerry which are two major players in the smart phone market today. The BlackBerry was catered more to the business customers while the iPhone was catered more to the media seeking demographic. Articles that were reviewed by me were written by West & Mace, Groggin, and Middleton. Each article dealt with different smart phones and different effects it has on our lives. With the introduction of mobile devices such as smart phones, the work place is now taken home. According to Middleton “The BlackBerry does give its users a mechanism to exert control over the management of daily communication tasks, but by virtue of its always-on, always-connected nature, it is also reinforces cultures that expect people to be accessible outside normal business hours”.(Middleton 2007) Since the introduction of the device in 1999, the BlackBerry has made a name for itself as a mobile e-mail device for business. The study done by Middleton was to see if using the BlackBerry device in the context of work-life would lead to increase in work-life conflict, and would result in detrimental organization outcomes. The research method that was used was qualitative a qualitative interview with 13 Canadian BlackBerry users. The respondents were chosen through a network of business contacts.

...OF PROXIMITY MARKETING: THE FUTURE OF MARKETING EXISTS AT THE NEXUS OF DIGITAL SIGNAGE AND MOBILITY Alex Romanov INTRODUCTION When historians look back on this commercial and cultural period, they will likely describe it as a time when the barriers between the physical and digital experience began to erode. One of the hallmarks of this period will be the blurring of the lines between marketing channels, and the convergence and evolution into something new. Today, location awareness and mobility have added context to even the most ordinary actions, while social media and the mobile Web have added a layer of immediate human connection to seemingly straightforward commercial transactions. Point‐of‐sale signage has begun to incorporate interactive mobile communication capabilities, empowering consumers with relevant, actionable information in real‐time retail settings. This era is being ushered in by companies that are combining these technologies to effective marketing ends, and in the process creating limitless opportunities for revenue generation and ROI for consumer‐centric businesses that engage in these practices. PROXIMITY MARKETING In one arena in particular, the efficacy of multi‐ channel marketing is on full display: an interactive medium known as proximity marketing that combines digital signage with mobile technology.

...Development Today social media is one of the most talked about and the most used form of communication among many generations we see today. They vary from parents, students, athletes, companies, business, consumers, organizations and other various forms of social networking. Social media allows users to share, exchange, collect; information, ideas and pictures/videos in networks via laptops, cell phones, IPADS, or any other mobile device that may have access to virtual communities or networks. As social media replaces old fashion ways, many healthcare providers such as hospitals are jumping on the social media wave to enhance its market potential against their competitors to have an advantage. New technological advancements have made their way to healthcare providers which are going unseen by patients and consumers. Qualified staff members and doctors are being employed; new improvements to the internal and external within hospitals are being made. Without the use of social media these aspects can be overlooked by just walking into any healthcare facility. One way of presenting these new ideas, advancements and changes is by the use of social media, to reach a wide variety of people. The way I would build my hospitals brand is simply by creating a social media app specifically for our healthcare facility. By creating this app for cell phones, IPADs, tablets and any other smart devices that may connect to a network. It would cater to patients, future patients, staff members...

In part, shoppers have what some industry experts refer to as “frugality fatigue” — they are simply tired of not spending. That said, they are not likely to return to frivolous spending. Today’s shoppers are much more conscious of where every penny is going; they are looking for deals and sales on the products they desire. With the growth of mobile technology and the ability to find information on products and pricing in real time, consumers are better educated and are not willing to settle, or make as many impulse purchases. Recent BIGresearch data shows that consumers are more focused on “needs” than “wants” and have become more practical when making purchase decisions (see chart).

Without technology they would not be able to provide their patients with the best treatment options. Mobile computing is an aspect of technology that has broken many barriers, and has influenced and assisted the healthcare industry tremendously. Most hospitals utilize mobile computing to facilitate the level of care they provide various patients. Social networking is a brilliant form of technology in which most people correspond using photos, comments and other mechanisms in order to communicate with one another. The healthcare industry is very demanding in terms of creating new ways of treating their patients, hence the fact that technology plays a pivotal role in the success in patient care and their level of success. The enhancement of mobile computing systematically allows patients with hypertension or diabetes to check their blood and glucose levels in the comfort of their own homes. This has been an immense breakthrough in the healthcare industry along with social networking, allowing patients to share their thoughts and opinions about their experiences with others. Most facilities implement the use of smart devices such as iPads and iPhones to simplify ways in which patients are...

...largely accessible through mobile device networks. They use information on the geographical position of a mobile device and enable the user to find the nearest business or service. In addition, the combination of mobile apps and location-based services allows marketers to reach out to their customers to send them more targeted content. Not only do location-based services help the consumer, but they also help advertise the company through social media networks. Stating location is no longer just a form of showing the public what you have seen and where you have been. It is like a free advertisement or commercial for people that view that picture (instagram) or status (Facebook). It has created an extra column in the marketing aspect of the business both for future consumers as well as systems that try to adapt to the users preferences. Applications such as Foursquare, Wikitude, and Yelp are widely used by many people, but the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) community is still in search for the "killer app" that will become so widely used in society that GIS will be available everywhere at all times and thus become part of the mainstream IT. There are so many applications that to find the IT app, it must be able to configure most of our wants and necessities. Finding cheap gas while giving comments on that restaurant to celebrate one's birthday party seems a bit far fetched, but as we have seen anything is possible in this new social media ran...
