World Map of Social Networks

The World Map of Social Networks published this December shows just how dominant Facebook has become in almost all of the world. The map year after year  becomes less colourful. Dominant networks decrease increasing its advantage over competitors. In 2009 there were 17 social network as leader all over the world and are now only 5. This type of analysis is becoming even more difficult due to the lack of data on emerging social media (Like Google+) and due to the widespread use of mobile devices.

Facebook has exceeded one billion monthly active users, 584 million of them are connected daily. Asia has become the largest continent of Facebook users with 278 million members while Europe has “only” 251 million users. In the last few months the Zuckerberg’s army has conquered Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Vietnam.

In the former territories of the Soviet Union grows V Kontakte at the expense of Odnoklassniki, and reaches 190 million registered users. In Iran, because of the dictatorship prevails Cloob, while in China continues to reign QZone QQ even managing to establish itself in South Korea. In China the regime passed a law that force people to register online with their own identity.

A new breakthrough which could pave the way for an input of the world’s largest social network.

AirDroid: The free app every Android owner should install in 2013

http://www.globalsupport365.com/

Gigaom

If hard pressed to pick an Android(s goog) app of the year, I’d have to go with AirDroid. We can debate if there’s a better choice, but every Android owner that wants an easy way to manage their Android phone from any computer should take a serious look at this app. The free software not only replaces my app of choice for wirelessly transferring files to a computer — I was using WiFi File transfer, which I recommended this time last year — it also adds support for management of files, contacts, ringtones, videos, images, and music. And that’s on top the ability to text contacts on your phone via your computer.

I find that AirDroid is a perfect companion app for whatever Android device I’m using when I’m actually sitting in front of a computer. A standard web browser connects the computer to the Android phone: You…

3D TV FAILURE

It was meant to become the new technological revolution at our homes and in the end it has been a complete failure. The 3D TV, which was so seen in any store last 2010 Christmas such as Sony, Panasonic or LG,  is still not interesting for the customers. And it’s not its fault. The lack of contents, high prices, and the discomfort of the  3D glasses have condemned this technology to a big failure.

Two years after it was launched, just a 2 % of the TV in UK are 3D. And in USA it doesn’t get to 5 %. On the next campaign of Christmas it will happen something similar: we will hear almost nothing (or nothing) about 3D TV and quiet a lot about the other TV’s, tablets, smartphones and apps. Manufacturers are reluctant about saying that it has been a failure , but they admit that 3D technology is stuck.

“the expectations were really high from the beginning and they didn’t meet  fulfills all of those expectations. The recession and the high cost of producing contents made the market stop. Anyway, just after 18 months after it was put onto the market, we can’t talk about a failure, because the real failure would be if after four or five years it’s still in the same situation.

For Samsung, leader in TV sales in Europe, recognizes that the idea of smart TV, the TV with connection to the Internet for browsing and access to apps, has overtaken to the rest. “3D technology hasn’t died, but we believe that it will be another option else about contents”.

The lack of contents is just the main problem. In many countries there isn’t any programes at all, apart from exceptions (football matches, music concerts…). The only option is buying a BluRay player, but the available movies on this format are still scarce and really expensive (from 25 £ each movie). There are also 3D videogames, but once again it’s necessary to invest in a videogame if you don’t have one yet. 3 dimensions are still very expensive.

First of all, because of the TV. In the stores you can get 32 inches  basic models with 3D and connection to the Internet from £550.  In addition to that, we need to mention the glasses, that in most of the times are not included. There are two types, active glasses, which offer better 3D sensation but batteries are required, uncomfortable and more expensive; and the passive ones, which are more simple, lighter and very cheap, but with a worse image quality.

Almost all 3D TV on sale work with active glasses, which cost between £30 and £60 each. Therefore, for a 4 member family, around £200 extra must be added for a TV budget. Apart from a BluRay player or a videogames station so that you could enjoy any content on 3D. In conclusion:the final bill is near £1000. It’s too much for many pockets.

The 3D TV convert any 2D content into 3D, but the image quality is very poor, simply it increases a little bit a deep sensation, very unnoticeable for many people. The real quality is obtained with a 3D Full HD content through BluRay or live TV.

The little attraction that 3D has on the cinemas hasn’t helped the 3D TVs. After 2010 boom, the public interest has gone down because of the low quality of the 3D in most of the productions and high prices: between 13 and 20 pounds per ticket. The recession is strongly affecting  the cinema. A 3D production, with adapted cameras, is really expensive. In the end, they just convert a 2D movie into a 3D one, the quality drops and the customer is not satisfied.

The manufacturers have bet on TVs connected to the Internet, because the consumer appreciates the value of this TVS.  They are more addictive because of the trend of consumerism of online concepts on mobiles, tablets, and now on TVs. The next bet will be the industry called 4K , which is screens with 4 times better resolution than the current Full HD  (1080p). Sony, Samsung, LG assure that it will be “the next revolution”. After the 3D failure, maybe they would need to be more careful.

10 Coolest Mobile Phone Concepts

Not everything has been developed at all. Mobile phones industry needs to be modernized in the time. New technologies make phones look completely different than the current ones.

Mobile phones evolution: coming from the “brick” phones to the stunning smartphones

Mobile phones evolution: coming from the “brick” phones to the stunning smartphones.

Mobile phones evolution: coming from the “brick” phones to the stunning smartphones

This sector has been so developed the past years that current mobiles don’t do anything to do with the ones before

Left image, Alcatel One Touch Easy and right image, an iPhone 5

It’s not a long time since we got our first mobile phone proudly and enthusiastically.  Tough materials with aerial, small screen and big keyboard which we still keep them like an antique and we are unwilling to get rid of them.

In 1982, Nokia commercialized «Senator», the first mobile phone technology, and that’s why it began to get an unstoppable success worldwide. Actually, Motorola was the first company in putting onto the market the mobile named The grandfather , motorola DynaTAC, with a 800 grs weight and 33 cm length.  At that time this innovation became to cost 3995 $ stunningly.

Motorola DynaTAC

That technological revolution which started almost 30 years ago hasn’t slowed down even a little bit. Lots of brands joined phone mobile technology and put onto the market a diverse variety of products:Alcatel, Motorola, Nokia, Philips, Toshiba, Ericsson, Sagem, Sanyo, Panasonic… We couldn’t expect anything about Apple or HTC and neither about the day that the mobile phone would offer more services apart from the conventional ones (calling, texting or playing games).

Most of the brands that came out from this new concept of mobile phone market disappeared and few of them are still on the market. In fact, Nokia, is the best example to describe how to manage the technological process in a wrong way and carrying out an unsuitable company politic.

Nokia is struggling to be successful once again but is behind brands such as iPhone, HTC or Samsung by far.

On the other hand, Samsung, has found the formula to be one of the sector leaders currently, standing by Apple.

Surely you will remember many mobiles from those times. We will show you some of the most successful ones:

-Nokia 3310: Launched in 2000, this model became one of the most popular ones. more than 100 millions units were sold in the whole world.  It had calculator, colourful cases, stopwatch and a classic game, “Snake”

– Alcatel One Touch Easy: It was displayed in 1997 and it was bought by loads of young people. It was a big mobile phone but attractive because of its colourful appearance and offered the possibility of adding extra battery.

– Ericsson T10, T20…. : Sophisticated and enjoyable at the same time. It was one of the most supported by the adults. From the serious grey to the eyecatching pink one. Its tiny aerial and the lid to protect the keyboard made it successful from the first day.

– Nokia 3300: Launched in 2003, it was designed for technology lovers. It offered 2G, colour scree, FM radio and MP3.

– Nec: The Japanese company was quite popular from the beginning but after some years its sales  would decrease.

– Motorola: V3 was one of the biggest hits of this company. Extremely flat and with a really eyecatching design, it’s easy to be seen in the street  because not everyone has an smartphone.

– Ericsson GA28: This Sweedish company created this mobile which was preferred by lots of customers e and it was easy to be recognised because of its removable buttons set.

– Nokia 6110: it was one of the best mobiles of the Finnish company, similar to 5100. Between the new features we could find the popular videogame “Snake”, infra red device and new gadgets on the screen.

– Alcatel 808: This company modernised and launched the model 808, really modern, functional and adventurous.

What can we do with our old phones?

Mobile components are  Up to 90% recyclable. So, it’s really important having the habit of recycling like another kind of waste (tins, packages…)

Mobiles, chargers and accesorises go through a sorting, shredding and classifying and extruding process, so that we can obtain plastics, aluminium, copper and fibre glass.
