Using a smartphone app instead of a PC

More people are spending time using their smartphones instead of using a PC. According to the article "Twitter Usage Depends on Mobile Experience" published 2/11/14 on mashable.com people are using their mobile apps more than any other way to get on these sites.

Both Twitter and Facebook have their own mobile apps and according to the U.S. Digital Consumer Report these apps are used much more frequently than a PC. Twitter users spend 36 minutes using a computer, 11 minutes using their smartphone browser, and 3 hours 7 minutes using their smartphone app per month. Facebook users are spending 6 hours 24 minutes on a computer, 40 minutes on their smartphone browser, and 7 hours 43 minutes using their smartphone app per month.

We can see that there are differences but the biggest difference shows in the twitter app instead of using a PC to access these social media websites.

I myself use all of these apps much more frequently than I use my computer. I think it's much easier and with our smartphones we are able to access these sites anytime and anywhere. Using a computer requires having internet access and carrying around a laptop or being home with a desktop. Our cell phones are almost always on us, giving us easy access and with the app we just click on it and we are instantly on our page.
