Era of Personal Digital Assistants
With personal digital assistants (PDAs) such as Siri, Google Assistant, and Cortana that come pre-installed or download have made it much more easy to use these devices. Some people have become lazy because of these PDAs, all the person will do is have it activated and commands it do what s/he wants at the moment. Say! for instance, making a call or sending a text message. This is why we ought to switch to the era of smartphones.

Advanced in way of communication
Smartphones have advanced what features can do, in other words – what a feature does, a smartphone does it better. Aside from Receiving/Making Calls and Sending/Receiving text (sms) messages, smartphones have mobile apps that can do all these at once or do them more better. For instance: the use of social media; WhatsApp can call, video chat, and also instant messaging – same goes to the likes of telegram, Facebook – etc. In addition, they can also communicate through instant e-mails.

Smartphone is a one in many/multiple device. In the past you would need to carry many devices to use, but now smartphones are packed with cameras, notepads, calendars, music and video players, phone books, digital maps, GPS, and so forth, that are often used today. Looking for a location that you might have a single idea where to find it – use the digital maps (Google or iOS maps), while out on an evening run – you can switch to using a music player to keep you company, if you’re forgetful – use the preinstalled notepads to note your works, mark your schedules on your calendar, seen something interest and you wanna keep it as a memory – take a picture using your camera.

2. Smartphones can make social media marketing a lot easier by allowing you to snatch a free minute now and then to post updates and read comments. Thanks to a smartphone, you can make use of time that would otherwise be wasted while standing in line or waiting in someone’s office.
