It's been a long time since we were happy to spend some time entertaining the snake on nokia 3310, and we thought this was the most technology could get, and that Nokia phone was fun for the audience, at least in our eyes, the children of that evolving generation.
The world has changed with the entry of smartphones that we almost run after the latest versions, games and applications that have entered every part of our lives We forgot our own intelligence.;
In fact, it's no longer as fun as it was with the Nokia 3310, especially with our constant sinking in, consuming a lot of our time and nerves even though we all know we have to spend less time on our phones, but few of us do.
Our dependence on screens has increased since the Corona epidemic, with 64% of UK adults now using their screens almost permanently, half of whom stay more than 15 hours a day staring at their phone screens, according to recent research by Leeds University.
One of the biggest culprits is whatsapp.
A story called WhatsApp
In 2009, WhatsApp created two former Yahoo employees, Jean Com and Brian Acton, and Kom was the one who saw the great potential to run through the Apple store after he first bought an iPhone in his life in 2009, and Com later revealed that his most important motivation for creating WhatsApp was his unwillingness to lose calls while in the gym.
The app developed by Igor Solomennikov, a programmer found by Com and Acton via a remote recruitment site, benefited from Apple's instant notification feature to update user networks, and users quickly used this to be an instant messaging service, planting the seed for what the app would later become, as instant messaging became the most important feature of the WhatsApp app, business of apps reported recently.
WhatsApp was unique at the time, successfully providing a free messaging service that allows users to log in using their phone numbers. The app was an immediate success, reaching 250,000 active users after its launch, enough for Acton to persuade a circle of fellow former Yahoo employees to give up $250,000 in initial funding for the app's development.
WhatsApp later included the multimedia messaging service, which was released on Android, and since then there have been significant qualitative leaps in its use and spread, ranking first among the top 3 apps downloaded in the Apple and Android stores. By October 2011, 1 billion messages had been sent daily through it, and by 2013 the app had more than 200 million active users.
That was enough to open the eyes of the giants, especially Facebook, which saw this app as a fierce competitor to be acquired, which really happened.
2014 in a deal that reached $19 billion in one of the largest acquisitions in history.
In fact, WhatsApp has become a practical alternative to email through live chat, the ability to send files, photos, videos and many other features that many use at work.
