Title: "Will Mobile Apps Change Training Forever?"
This article discusses how rapidly evolving technology has a direct affect on the evolution of learning technology. It argues that with this changing technology, the focus on training will shift more towards "performance support". Apps will conveniently provide employees manuals, charts, technical support, etc anytime or anywhere they would need them. I agree that apps with manuals and technical support would be helpful in a business to cut down on time wasted by employees, but I do not think training can be completely cut out of a business. Many people learn visually or with practice. Without initial training, some businesses may spend more time in future correcting mistakes.
The article also gave a couple facts that I found interesting. It is projected that apps will become a bigger market than CDs by 2012 and there are reports that 1 in 4 adults in the United States use mobile apps.
