Week 4 EOC: There's an App for That

Today’s phone apps simplify the way we live.  They provide us with everyday ease that helps us have that peace of mind without having the worry in the back of our minds.  Even though there are thousands of apps that continually all have the same purpose, people keep thinking that it is a necessity to have apps to prepare them for all types of situations.  When one would look for games in the app store, one will find varieties of categories ranging from multiplayer to RPG and from puzzle games to sports games.  All which are successful, but are different from an idea that has not been originated yet.  A game that would stand out from the rest would be one that has the same concept as the Kinect for the Xbox 360.  It would be game where one will have to take the time to set it at a proper level so that they could experience a similar simulation as they would with the Kinect.  Another app that would be relevant and useful at times would be a short distance GPS application.  Now this is not your average GPS where it will give you different directions for different roads and freeways.  It is a GPS that one could use to find there way around a major office building, a large scale court house, a school campground, or even a world market center.  Now, when someone enters the app store they will find different apps that will give them different alerts without having to actually open up the application itself.  These alerts can notify someone of a message from a social network that they have an account with, a certain recreational event that is going to occur, or even the weather.  What they app store doesn’t have is an app where it can notify a person of a natural disaster or danger that is in their area.  The person would also be tracked with the GPS and will have a two- hundred mile radius.  Ideas for applications are made up everyday, so these are probably not that far from being created in the future.
