Paradigm shift in mobile communication carriers

Language is an important and integral part of human culture. There are many aspects that make up communication, but humans are unique in that we have an organized spoken language, which allows us to communicate on a deeper, more personal level. The technology has taken us from face-to-face and letter writing communication, to inventions such as the telephone, the cell phone, online chat rooms, and now to Mobile Applications, one of the newest and fastest growing forms of communication with text messaging, audio and video communication. The citizens across the world are increasingly turning to mobile technology because of ease of communication and the different modes it presents like text, audio, video, etc. in which communications can be made very easily. Earlier mobile users use the conventional data communication channels such as Short Messaging Services as for text data, voice calls, but the rapid proliferation and ubiquity of mobile and more and more availability of smart devices in the consumer market has driven the software engineering community to quickly adapt to new development approaches conscious of the novel capabilities of mobile applications. There has been a rapid increase in online communication in the last 7-8 years especially using mobile devices and the mobile application using the internet which is replacing the conventional communication channels. In this paper, we have described how mobile applications over the web have replaced the conventional modes of communication and have also described some case studies.
