The biggest Innovation in the last 25 years was the topic of discussion in our Coffee conversation last week. While there were many answers, the most debated one was the Smart Phone.
We all know it replaced the wired phone, the wrist watch, the calendar, the alarm clock, the camera, the calculator and the list goes on. In many of these products, a lot of brands disappeared as they got competition from unexpected quarters (i.e. a mobile). The consumers, on the other hand, got everything in one device. They could even measure their vitals using the phone.
Mobile also became an enabler for innovation across many industries. The first industry that comes to my mind is the Education Industry. Till the Covid struck, this industry had not seen a lot of digital transformation. If you look at the schools, the best we saw was Smart boards replacing the Black boards. The pandemic accelerated a transformation in education industry enabled by a Smart phone. For the Bollywood fans, in the movie ‘3 Idiots’, the protagonist says “Knowledge is everywhere, all you need is a uniform”. The uniform today is the Smart phone, Knowledge is all over the internet. If we look at India, according to estimates, active internet users in India is estimated to reach 900 million by 2025, up 45% over 622 million active internet users in 2020 and internet penetration in the country is expected to reach >55% by 2025. This means, education is now reaching to a large population easily. The Industry-School partnerships have also blossomed and expanded, with the geographical boundaries removed and #digitalskilling is enabling students to be industry ready at the time of their passing out.
What do you think is the most important contribution of the Smart phone?
