Textng Bad For Your Back

When you are texting or using many different phone services, how much of a tilt do you have on your head? When you tilt your head about 50 degrees, that is 50 pounds of pressure on your neck. This research was done with a computer program that analyzed the stress on your neck while the head is bend at various angles. One of the most important things to do is to pay attention to where your head is in space all the time. It is best when you are looking directly at the screen. Another cause of back problems is constantly being in a seated position. For those people that are constantly sitting at their job, whether it be software development or in a business, it is best to get up often and stretch. You should also take some walks, even if it is not outside. There has been some research that pointed to the fact that even if you do exercise in the morning, sitting all day can negate all the effort put into it.

Make Your Own Apps

Mobile applications are very important for businesses these days. On average, people spend over two hours a day on mobile applications. This means 86 percent of the average person’s phone usage is spent accessing apps. The data reveals that gaming apps lead the way, and account for 32 percent of people’s time, followed by Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, which collectively account for an additional 32 percent. One of the approaches that you can take is to appeal to gamers. Your company does not necessarily have to do with gaming but it might be a great way to put your logo and brand on something. When brainstorming, the first people that you should go to is your team because they know your target audience and customers and clients better than anyone. Another thing to think about is how to better use the features that are already in the phone such as the motion sensors and accelerators. After brainstorming ideas, you could hire a designer, then get quotes for the programmers, and lastly introduce and market the app.
