The Magic Smartphone is here

It goes without saying that mobile technology and smartphones have transformed our lives. Tasks that we might have done on paper or manually now takes place with our fingertips. Its like magic of Smartphones has taken over our lives. With a light touch of the screen and we can shop, learn, navigate, and communicate—all thanks to these tiny devices called Smartphones.

My Phone addiction

The last thing I say at night is ‘goodnight’ not to my family but to my phone. Hee Hee !!  I wake up with its sweet alarm tune grabbing it to check my mail and WhatsApp messages.  It’s not because I’m addicted, it’s because my phone gets me connected to the world. It tells me the weather and quickly surfs the net. It helps me navigate around traffic jams in Mumbai city. I can keep in touch with my friends through all my social media sites Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snap-chat, etc and lots more. The list can go on and on. I am proud to be a #Technocrat constantly upgrading my skills.

While smartphones still can’t make my morning tea, technology just keeps getting better. We have more and more features than ever before.
When you think about a smartphone, the general features or tricks come to mind. Playing games, browsing the web, taking photos, using Bluetooth to transfer data and download songs pictures and apps. But your smartphone can do some pretty unusual things too that you’ve probably never even considered. Here are some of the most amazing, out-there tasks your magic smartphone can help you conquer.

1. Scan documents

Forget the bulky scanner/fax machine combos of the late ’90s. These days most cell phones sport powerful cameras that let you do much more than snap a few photographs. Apps like CamScanner allow you to turn almost anything you can take a picture of into a PDF. Keep digital copies of business cards, receipts, or other important documents. You can even share documents via email straight from your phone or you can send documents to a land-line fax machine.

2. Identify things

Have you ever looked at something and have no clue what it is ?  or what it does? Or has the name for it been on the tip of your tongue, driving you crazy that you can’t remember what it’s called? Now with the Google Goggles app (for Android only), just snap a picture of a product, painting, barcode, famous landmark, or a popular image. If Google can match your picture to something in its database, it will provide you with useful information. Wow, Awesome isn’t it?

Did you know my first magic smartphone was a Micromax Viva I had won in a twitter contest hosted by their twitter handle on Mothers Day?

It always took decent pictures and never let me down. 🙂
