For a millennial, there are very few things that they have a similar love for as their smartphone. This is the gadget that is there to have our back no matter how grave the situation is. We are swiftly shifting towards the digital world and the only link that’s making it possible is a smartphone. The services that we use, a majority of them are app-based and this is the reason we rely highly on our smartphones. As a professional and a millennial, I can confirm that smartphones provide us with a reliable source to make our professional and personal life a bit easier. There are different apps for different categories and I will try to discuss a few of them here.
