Smartphones- Swipe Left or Right?
We all do it. Smartphones, we all take them for granted these days.
They have slotted in to our daily lives seamlessly both at home and work. It's like they are a third arm! We love our smartphones, as we literally have our entire lives in our hands…Our work emails/personal/, family photos, documents, music, videos, apps etc… However, what happens when it goes missing? We well and truly hit the panic stations.
Like missing a step in the dark, while walking down the stairs we all know that feeling of dread when we reach out for the phone and it’s not there! We do the personal pat down, patting back, side and inside pockets, we check bags, tables etc. At this point we look like a professionally trained member of the Dublin airport security team as we scramble for our precious device whilst trying to look calm at the same time…
Now imagine what it must feel like for the people who have lost their phones in what we call the "black hole" of the back of London taxis every year, (almost 200,000 in total!). And for these guys there is a zero to zero chance of ever getting their device back!
The thought process can look a little like this…
1. Why didn’t I setup a PIN? (50% of smartphones are not PIN protected)
2. OMG what do I have on there that I wouldn’t like others to see?
3. What apps have I “saved” the password for that enables “one click” and access is delivered?
4. What about my emails!
5. What about my work emails
6. What about my photos and videos
7. Who should I tell…
I don’t want to worry you. The good news is there are some simple steps you can use to take away the worry and stress AND give you a load more benefits beside.
