How do smart applications change the face of contemporary life?

Virtual technology has swept our real life in all its fields through smart applications that provide us with countless services, so smart phone applications have become an effective alternative to facilitating many daily tasks, but do these important applications assigned to them?, And what are their positives and negatives?, With the spread of smart applicationsMany people have turned to using these applications in the most accurate details of their lives closer to obsession with them, so many cannot imagine their lives without a smartphone and applications that provide many services, but the use of these applications via smartphone makes their owners vulnerable to the risk of piracy and steal their data.How does the phone deal with personal data?, A recent study revealed that the applications used in smartphones, which are produced by Apple as well as the Android phones, leaked many user data, to third parties.

With the expansion of the use of virtual smart applications, scientists and researchers began to invent new applications to provide different services in production and development, recently, creators developed an application for smartphones, allowing migrants to obtain information in real time, to find out any limits that have become closed or any bus that must be independent or any procedureIt should be taken to obtain asylum, while frustrating Indonesion resorted to a new application on the mobile phone to alert the government employees and demand immediate reforms of the deteriorating public services in the capital of the fourth largest country in the world in terms of population, and it allows the application of public monitoring that won the support of the authorities in the city of JakartaFor residents, publish online pictures of problems starting from drilling in the roads for broken traffic lights in an attempt to stimulate work.

Hundreds of smart phone applications show daily hundreds of smart phone applications, including a lot that helps to provide services in various fields, including health, several applications that allow patients to manage treatment affairs from their homes, which reduces hospital costs.

As for nature disasters, in Mexico, for example, when a strong earthquake of the Mexican coast overlooks the Pacific Ocean, within a few seconds, warnings of radio and sound amplifiers and smartphone applications are launched to inform the residents of the capital, who number about 20 million people of this disaster.

To that, researchers from Taiwan succeeded in creating modern applications to distinguish between the various voices of children's screams, through a device that was created by the Union University Hospital at Taiwan National University that can distinguish between four separate audio cases after recording them and compares them to a group that includes a large database, the creators of the device say they do not recommend using itFor children who have exceeded six months because the child then becomes more affected by the environment surrounding him, but they see that he will benefit the parents, especially those who have the first child, and applications are constantly updating the base of its information, while the mother and father can determine a specific personal status commensurate with their children, and the innovators said it isAfter downloading the applications, it is necessary to determine the date of birth and nationality for newborns. Immediately after the child's screaming, each audio tone is recorded for ten seconds, so that the result is downloaded on the mother's mobile phone, below the most prominent news and studies monitored by the informational network on the latest smart applications around the world.

Smart phone applications "spy on users"

In a related context, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard and Carnegie Mellon were 110 applications, available on Google Play and Apple App Store, and the researchers found that 73 percent of Android applications share email addresses for users with a third party, while 47 percent of iOS applications participateThe geographical location data, and the International Privacy Organization said that it is a new evidence for how these devices "deceive", and the study that titled "Who knows about me what?"A survey of what is happening behind the scenes, personal data with third parties, and tested 55 applications from the most used in Android devices, and the same in iOS devices, and the researchers found that Android applications sent sensitive data, to an average of 3.1 Domain (Service Processing) is a third party, while iOS apps to 2.6 domain.

Android applications are more inclined to personal data, such as the name (49 percent of the applications share it), the address (25 percent of the applications share it), compared to iOS applications, 18 percent of which share names, and 16 percent of which share email addresses.

The researchers also found that three out of every 30 medical and fitness applications share search vocabulary and user inputs with third parties.

Users tend to be more anxious, about the amount of data shared by applications.

The Pew Research Center conducted a survey of two thousand Americans, and found that 54 percent of users decided not to use specific applications, after they learned the amount of information they had to share in order to use these applications.

About 30 percent of them said that they had deleted an application, after they learned that he had collected information from them that they did not want to share, while 30 percent of smartphone owners closed a feature that tracks the geographical location on their phones.

This study comes as a confirmation of a study prepared by Timothy Liebere, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, last month, in which he said that about 9 out of every 10 websites leaked user data to a third party, and users are "usually do not know that".

Applications that vow earthquakes

Technology was not available when an earthquake measured 8.1 degrees of the capital on September 19, 1985, and has great destruction and caused thousands of deaths, and Saturday during the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of this natural disaster, simulation operations are underway with these alarm systems operating.For the first time, warnings of 8,200 amplifiers are launched distributed throughout Mexico, and for two decades, the "Cyris" association provides the city with warning systems based on sensors placed on the coast overlookOne before seismic waves reached the capital, hundreds of kilometers from the coast, but the damage may be huge, as the city is constructed on a lot of vibration plate in the past..According to AFP.

Immediately after monitoring the earthquake, the system cuts radio programs and launches sirens in schools, ministries and offices, and applications for smartphones, such as "Sky Alert" and "Alirata Cesmetika DF" allow the residents29 years old who also sells devices that reach the warnings to the homes, "I wake up every day and go to work, putting the eye of the commitment I took towards my country and its people.".

After two seconds from the start of the earthquake, "Sky Alert" sends a warning via mobile phones in the form of a messaging message called "seismic warning" in which the strength of the tremor was mentioned, and this application was designed in the year 2001 tied to the beginning of the "Cyris" system, but it became independent after its link with special sensors.Canto imported from Japan, and 3 million people use the free version of the application.In May, the company opened a 3.5 -dollar subscription annually that allows the adaptation of warnings according to the needs, and this application soon became famous, but he sent last year to its users a wrong warning, and for Juan Manuel Espinosa, the general manager of the "Cyris" Association, the most wireless signals remain the mostEffective, and this engineer displays the screen that monitors the aforementioned sensors with small light lamps, and the Khuwadim monitors this association placed in an old house divided into three floors, each ground vibration that would make warnings automatically.
