Factor Technology Assessment: Smart PhonesMerges a desktop or laptop computer with the conveniences of an olderRelativemobile phone (dumb or feature phone). Mobile phones allowed Advantagecountries to leapfrog the infrastructure development requirements oflandline phones.Mobiles phone can be considered the most widely adopted technologyworldwide, smart phones will likely retain the same compatibility withCompatibility local populations. Integrating the internet, picture taking capabilities,banking capabilities and other features they may be even morecompatible.The basic features of the phone are simple to use, and its touch sensitiveComplexity or user interface has contributed to its commercial success, expansion andSimplicityrapid improvement. Adding voice commands increases access and itssimplicity for some users.Unlike a desktop computer, a smart phone does not have a loading time Trialability as it boots as soon as it is activated. It can be used seconds after it ispowered on.They are attractive and filled with social features, and a powerfulprocessing engine. With over 400,000 applications for Android alone, orObservability over 500,000 for iOS, app use and exploration can captivate individuals ofdifferent interests and ages. The applications are also linked to a virtualaccount and can be re-downloaded if a device is upgraded. 11. FactorTechnology Assessment: Open EducationIt is cheaper, customizable, and localizable. Depending on the license theyallow for remix, reuse, revise, and redistribution. Open textbooks areRelativeincreasingly being adopted in the United States and open content has Advantagereached billions. By being digital and easy to replicate there is no Tragedyof the Commons.Many individuals today first learn about a topic by searching for it online.Google and its products are successful partly because they are to a greatextent open projects (open to use not all are open source). Wikipedia, aCompatibilityfully open site, is the 6th most visited site on the Internet. Being openmeans that anyone with an Internet connection should be able to access itand/or download it.Learning how to use them is simple, to edit them or to find them can be aComplexity orbit more complicated.
