This would only mean that the mobile industry does not merely focus on development and advancement but making use of these advantages to help the community as well. After all, throughout the course of history, the human race survives because of people’s skills to survive and flourish.

With all the advancement and innovation we have, it is but fitting to make use of these to our advantage and the advantage of the community. Mobile Industry is more than just making money and making more progress. It is using such power to help ourselves and the community. In the next few years, it is somehow patterned that there will be more things to come, and mobile technology is not only limited to programmers and mobile industry designers. Technology is found everywhere, whether it is in a hospital laboratory, an engineering company, or even a classroom.
