Will the
mobile apps survive? This is the biggest question which is making the experts
busy now-a-days. Some experts believe that the current usage of apps, which
generally give us information and let us get a service if and when we want it,
will be irrelevant in the future when the internet will be all pervasive
(exists everywhere) at an extremely high bandwidth (read speed). They predict
that from a ‘pull’ based usage of mobile and web apps, we will live in a world
where the web will be ‘push’ based, that is, the web will be all around us and
coming to us irrespective of whether we are specifically looking for it.
Example of such a future?
Well,
suppose when we want to travel to a place within a city, we can open the
‘Uber’, ‘Ola’ or other cab/taxi app and book a cab. This is an example of a
‘pull’ based mobile web.
Now,
imagine sometime in the future, you are standing at place wanting to go to
another place. And before you have to open your mobile and open the app, the
app itself switches on and asks you whether you would like to avail a cab
arriving in 2 minutes to take you?
Imagine you
are entering a shopping complex and an app is telling you that you need to buy
a gift for your friend whose birthday falls on the next week.

Some believe and predict otherwise
Well, many
says many apps already have the ‘push’ capabilities and they will only get
better over the time. Partially yes. We have the Apple Watch and quite a few
apps which sort of ‘tells’ us or ‘push’ information to us before we ask them.
You have to get hungry now, to know more and make a plan
See, there are theses and
anti-theses. The best you can do to understand is to listen to experts, read,
get exposure to multiple forums on mobile technologies and get experience to
develop your own set of knowledge about the future.
At
Careers21 Symposium, Krishna Tammireddy will tell you something about the
future and what you can do best to avail of the opportunities.
