Mobile Observation
Rose Yesha
IntroductionThis observation was conducted in the
commons, specifically the section between the coffee shop and the tables across from SalsaRitas
The people observed were seen with many different devices
The most popular devices included iPhones, iPad’s , and multibrand laptops
Applications of interestFacebookMyUMBCGmailGoogleVarious search engines
Patterns?Facebook appeared to be the most popular
application among the iPhone users Multi-tasking between using the iPhone and
another mobile device such as an iPad or laptop was very common
Although mobile platforms are available for myumbc, gmail, and google- it seems that there was a marked preference for using these applications on larger platforms
