Abstract
Almost all the human being real life concerned domains are taking advantage of latest technologies for enhancing their process, procedures and operations. This integration of technological innovations provides ease of access, flexibility, transparency, reliability and speed for the concerned process and procedures. Rapid growth of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) and MT (Mobile Technology) provides opportunity to redesign and reengineered the human routines’ life activities process and procedures. Technology integration and adoption in routine life activities may serves compensatory mechanism to assist the population in different manner such as monitoring older adults and children at homes, provides security assistance, monitoring and recording patients vital signs automatically, controlling and monitoring equipments and devices, providing assistance in shopping, banking and education as well. Disasters happened suddenly, destroy everything indiscriminately. Adoption and integration of latest technologies including ICT and MT can enhance the current disaster management process, procedures and operations. This research study focuses the impacts of latest and emerging technology trends in routine life activities and surrounds their potential strength to improve and enhance disaster management activities. MT is providing a promising platform for facilitating people to enhance their routine life activities. This research argue that integration and adoption of mobile computing in disaster management domain can enhance disaster management activities with promising minimizing error, quick information assembling, quick response based on technology manipulation and prioritizing action.
Highlights
A technology that permits data transmission via computers without having physical connection and fixed location is known as MC
The current technology trends according to technology advancements and its sophistication are more interesting and appealing for solving real life problems
In literature review for this study we found various interesting articles related to increasing trends for technology adoption and integration for solving different types of real life problems
Summary
A technology that permits data transmission via computers without having physical connection and fixed location is known as MC. Due to the rapid development and increasing adoption and penetration of MTs at individual user and organizational level, new and challenging opportunities are available for mobile software developers to create mobile application that can be used in simple routine life activities like gaming, education, entertainment to enhancing shopping, advertising, social networking as well as to support the complex phenomena of banking, stock market, Money transfer, handling emergency and disaster situation, providing health assistance, sharing news and views, disseminating weather updates and climate related information, helping in location identification and navigation in addition with providing assistance to the impaired people. Advances of MT development, growing adoption and penetration of mobile devices [5], alignment ability of MT and its sophistication with various human life concerns gives the opportunity to take assistance in managing disaster events in order to overcome communication and coordination issues during disaster response, sharing of real time information, tracking and monitoring objects with respect to time and locations, transferring immediate funds to victims, monitoring real time data and information disseminating by various interconnected objects through IoT, solving language problems, connect or rejoining the victim families
