MANILA, Philippines – These days, mobile data has undoubtedly made our lives more convenient. Even when we’re anywhere but home, we’re now able to do with our smartphones what we used to do only with computers and a steady WiFi connection.
Now, being stuck in a traffic jam is a little more bearable as we stream videos and music. Sharing a photo of a scenic view in a faraway province on social media can be done in an instant. Answering urgent work e-mails is possible even when we’re in transit. Browsing our Facebook feeds to see posts by family, friends, favorite celebrities, and news outlets easily keeps us updated with everything we need to know.
Surely, you’ve wondered just how much data is consumed whenever you do these things at one point. And admit it: all those different terms such as MBs and GBs, Internet data speeds and more may leave you confused, but you never really had the time (or patience) to look them up and try to understand what they mean!
On Wednesday, August 10, we invited someone to help explain those confusing data terms, answer your questions on mobile data, and help find the right apps for your lifestyle. We introduced Marty the Smarty (@askmartysmarty), our new go-to data dude who wants to make going online easier for everyone. (READ: The new Twitter guy who’s making data education more fun)
The Internet has been helpful to us, and it’s only apt that we learn more about it to become empowered data consumers.
We conducted this conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #AskMartySmarty. Check out the highlights below. – Rappler.com
