Abstract |
Mobile phones are the main source of communication. Fundamental purpose of the mobile phone is to communicate verbal messages from one place to other. In the present era, as we know that microelectronics has changed the world into an electronic sphere and rest of the paradigm has been filled with the modern communication techniques. With the emergence of internet, the functionality of the cell phone has changed, now cell phone are same as hand-held computers which support full functionality of a modern computing requirements as well as communication needs. The cellular phones are not only the cell phones but now have become Smart phones. One of the main challenges of the modern era especially in developing countries like Pakistan is the awareness about the security issues of the private information about the user of smart phones. Hundreds of applications have been developed for different purposes which may directly or indirectly effect the personal information of the Smartphone holder. The purpose of my research is to evaluate and identify these issues in the context of Pakistani population. There is a clear distinction among the categories of different communities of the Pakistani population along with their different needs and scenarios of using Smartphone. |
