8 Apps Now That Changed The Way We Live Our Lives
Mobile apps have shaped the way we live our lives today. I’ve used that phrase far too many times in the last couple of years. People tell me I say that a lot because I am a tech geek and happen to use a lot more apps than others in my social circles. But that’s not really the case.

Controversial? Yes. But the events that happened in the last couple of years have been nothing short of eye-opening.
