Week 4 EOC: Theres an App for that!

This day and age the smart phones have apps for everything you can possibly think of, or have they. There are still many ideas left to make millions of dollars off of. The most popular apps use to be games for entertainment, but now we have apps that help you with your everyday activities like preordering tickets for a movie or seats at your favorite restaurant. On the other hand most of these apps you are not really going to use; doing things the old fashioned way is sometimes easier. But what if they made apps that were actually very useful for instance, a Mile per Gallon App. This app would keep a log of which different types of gas you purchased, notifies you which gas company gives you the better bang for your buck. Plus a special feature to let you know when you are in proximity of a gas station that has the best deal for gas prices. There can even be an app that notifies you when there is an emergency on the freeway that you are traveling on, such as an accident or a police chase coming your way. This app might pique the interest for the parents out there. Let’s say you go to your local Cell phone provider and order a family plan with you and your children, if they are under the age of 18 and living within the household, there will be an optional app that allows parents to receive a notification if their child leaves the house, or returns. An additional feature of this app would be if the parent suspects the child is in trouble then there will be an emergency location button. This will allow you to locate you child in seconds and can report the location to authorities if needed.
