Study into the implications of Smartphone operating system security
The personal remote control for our lives
A typical morning could start with being awoken by the alarm function then a quick
check on our digital social and work lives by checking our email (personal and work),
Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook notifications, followed by a summary of news events
and what the day’s weather has in store for us – and all before breakfast and the
morning shower. For the daily commute into work we have generally ditched the
printed daily paper and the book and will receive notifications from our banks on
account balances and reminders of our day’s schedule. On our return from home we
have already checked to see the state of the transport network and been sent a
reminder that the weekly shopping is being delivered at 19:00.
This scenario is happening every day in every city, town and village up and down the
length of the UK. And what does mobile technology have in store for us in the coming
years? NFC will bring contactless payments and ticketing directly onto our
Smartphones, the next generation of Google and Apple devices will be wearable and
be able to capture our daily lives in very personal ways – the digital and physical will
become one.
