What are you doing with your android phones?

There is this saying that goes thus: Before you praise a busy man, find out what he is busy doing. These days  you find people very busy on their phones,but you hardly can decipher what they are doing with it.

I had raised the question earlier, is your phone a tool of trade or mere entertainment tool? . The choice is yours. Failure is a decision , likewise success is a decision.chose your path  and  chose right to the best of your conviction, knowledge  and capability.

The use with which you subject your mobile phone to is what it will answer to. Your phone is like a servant that you can send on an errand.

Your android phones unlike before comes with beautiful features that can be deployed to good advantages. 

For emphasis, android devices can include still/video cameras, touchscreens, GPS, accelerometers, gyroscopes, barometers, magnetometers, dedicated gaming controls, proximity and pressure sensors, thermometers, accelerated 2D, bit blits (with hardware orientation, scaling, pixel format conversion) and accelerated 3D graphics.

All of these features makes it possible for you  to do a whole lots with your phones, you can take good pictures if you have a camera with high pixels, you can do videos, you can enrol for online businesses and courses  and make good money.

It also do  multitasking. What a great feature ?  The last night, I was practically In three classes undergoing online training both on WhatsApp and Telegram. The beauty of  it all is that Telegram is an improvement on WhatsApp  and has a lot of beautiful features as well. 

Besides there are a lot of apps that can be downloaded from your play store to make wonderful things and stuffs.There, we have the canvas app, which can do graphics at a go, I remember inshot app used for video animation also on your android  phone,I remember the app for making business cards called card maker with ready made templates for business cards and so on and so forth. 

Therefore it baffles me when people have an android phone and still say they are poor and can not afford this or that.

Most of the youths today even buy phones in the mould of I phones close to a million and all they use it for is fun, chatting, gaming  taking pictures and watching movies, going on Instagram and what have you?, sad.

I know a gentleman who told me that he wrote two articles  with his phone and he received a sum of  N300,000 naira. The multitasking nature of the phone was put to use, sourcing materials on goggle and writing at the same time.  Again, the choice is yours.

So, I asked the probing question again, what are you doing with your android phone?

Tomorrow  is another day.
