Now, everything can be done at the tip of our fingers using streaming apps such as Netflix, Hulu and iTunes.

Debatable Questions:
Are apps making humans lazy?
Yes and no, consumers of these products generally become lazy as everything is now available at their finger tips. As for app developers, they have to go through long trial and errors to develop an app such as the ones that we use at our finger tips. Especially those made from scratch with no templates. ]]> 2016-04-18 05:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rkuruppu1/d0ribeo9jl1y/wish/106224714 yash https://padlet.com/rkuruppu1/d0ribeo9jl1y/wish/106224833 Parts 1 + 2
