Applications or "apps" for mobile devices (Android accept pets) are a new way to view and interact, are the cornerstone of access to the vast ocean of information that, today, by the Internet. But they are much more than that: make the network of networks in an invisible medium in which anyone can extract the information / get service you are interested, whether or not computer savvy, touching a screen with a finger and the palm of the hand . Are there any higher?
Something similar happened with the USB ...
At the beginning (just after the Big Bang) the computer was difficult and the word "computer" caused huge headaches for more than one. And let's not hardware ... Connect a printer, a scanner or an external hard drive to a computer became a general rule, in a nightmare, only suitable for geeks / nerds eager to fight with drivers, serial ports and other elements Prehistoric consumer computing.
Everything was chaos until our dear friend, Mr USB , showed up and demonstrated to the amazement of the crowds, the much rumored "plug and play" was real as life itself. There was no struggle with drivers, change jumpers on the motherboard or anything like that to connect a peripheral to a personal computer. "Plug and Play!" Said the gurus of the moment ... and the key.
USB technology "provided the information, let all my neighbors were able to connect a printer to print some notes, to move your favorite music to MP3 or movies copied from the computer of a friend in an external hard drive. Or what is the same: to bring computing to the masses and made it accessible to everyone.
Is not the same thing is happening with the applications and the Internet?
Why do I have to know that if I buy a watch on the internet I have to write to google and search for "buy watch? If I and I have an application on my smartphone to automatically connect to a popular online store and offers me a long list of watches that are for sale and I can also buy ... And it's playing, why do I have to know the concept "Internet"?
Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to know the weather will be tomorrow at Alicante last longer I have to wait for the weather section of the news. Even I have to turn on a computer, connect to the Internet, open a browser and search Google (or markers if I apuráis) is much simpler: just touch the screen I have my mobile phone ...
Why do I have to know what a URL and the URL of the country (for an example 
More than once (and two) I have heard the typical phrase "Internet? I too lost that I do not understand anything and I have no time to learn "What if we make people forget the" complicated "it was Internet? Eureka!
Applications, as well as USB connectivity made at the time, pemtnalsuuros users (ALL) get where they want walking the shortest route. That has a name: ACCESSIBILITY.
Media, services, brands ... All point to the cart applications and want one, also without thinking. A few more clients, customers, friends, fans, supporters, etc can be reached the better.
Apple (App Store), Google (Android Market) and other companies that have stores of applications (Nokia OVI xD) I know. Of course I know that applications are the present / future of the Internet. Hence the large investments ...
The latest data unveiled on its App Store Apple are creepy: 125 million users of IOS devices, 300,000 applications (of which 40.000 are IPAD) and is present in over 90 countries ...
Please welcome to the applications, they have come to stay.
Do you think that applications are "USB Internet?
