Flexibility, Ubiquity, Fragmentation

Technology is everywhere. we are using it without even thinking about it. We cant imagine our every day routine without it. Since our phones became "smart" they do alot of things for us. And i will tell you how i use it.

I wake up from the alarm on my phone, while im having breakfast im checking Facebook, Instagram, Tumbler, Mail. I text people, i post stuff on every media platform im in, in order to connect with people. I use Trip View to check my trains, I use weather app, even have done the course evaluation today via my phone and UNSW app. What would have i done without it?

Apps are everywhere , they are so ubiquitous. Apps are applied to almost anything. It gives the ability to network and view information in a carefree way. We are so used to them, that now cant even imagine our live without it.

However, with this ubiquitous computing becoming more and more important in our lives, there is an issue of security. McCullough says that "as information becomes more and more abundant , clear views through it become less and less possible", which means that our personal security is more likely to be compromised because of the large amount of information going through networks we use
