NATIONAL APP DAY- December 11 | National Day Calendar
National App Day on December 11th encourages us to explore all the possibilities apps afford us.
#NationalAppDay
The word “App” was listed as the word of the year in 2010 by the American Dialect Society.
Short for Software Applications, apps quickly appeared when our mobile devices incorporated smart technologies. As the power of our phones increased with processing chips, internet connectivity, and touchscreens, so did the available apps.
Since then, apps have changed how we work, live, and play. They offer opportunities, too, by creating thousands of new companies, millions of new jobs, and billions of dollars in revenue.
Apps accelerated in growth with the advent of Apple’s iPhone in 2007. In 2008, Apple introduced OS 2.0, which included approximately 500 apps and allowed third-party app generation. Over 3 million apps on both the Apple and Android platforms offer many options for business, productivity, entertainment, organization, security, news, and so much more. And every, programmers introduce thousands more.
Not only do apps keep us connected and organized, but apps fit our busy and changing lifestyles through customization.
