We’re living in a fast world. Times have changed real fast and technology has metamorphosed at a supersonic pace. From the morse- code age to the telegram and telephone era, technology has put an emphasis on how fast we send and receive communication.
I have lately developed a keen interest on the mobile phone which at present has proved to be a versatile and indispensable gadget. How many of us would ever spend a day without a mobile phone? Better still, how would life be without one of these inseparable companions? Although most of us feel like we couldn’t live without our mobile phones, they haven’t been around that long. Fact is, mobile phones as we know them today have only been around for the last 20 or so years.
The origin of mobile phones goes back to 1908 when a US Patent was issued in Kentucky for a wireless network. The story of the modern mobile phone really began in the 1940s when engineers developed cells for mobile phone base stations. A Motorola employee Martin Cooper made mobile phone History in April 1973 when he made the first ever call on a handheld wireless phone.
Actually, the very first mobile phones were not really mobile phones at all. They were two-way radios that allowed people like the police, taxi-drivers and the emergency services to communicate. These early mobile phones are often referred to as OG mobile phones or Zero Generation mobile- phones . Most phones today rely on 3G or third-generation mobile technology.
Presently, the mobile phone has transformed into a gadget which apart from enabling communication, comes in handy as a portable data bank and research tool. Features like cameras, videos, web-browsing, Bluetooth, games, office software (diaries&calendar), MP3 player and voice dialling have made mobile devices a part and parcel of our daily lives.
Enter the Crown Colour App. You don’t need your not so lean Crown Ambiance colour chart-that would be bulky and tedious to flip through. With our new Colour App all you need to do is download the application from your Android or iPhone and sit back as you navigate through all our available colours.
What more can a phone do? With this app, you are able to search for any colour by name or code. Yes, take a snapshot of the colour you want form fabric, cars, walls or landscapes and find its name and code pap! This eliminates the eeers and ooohs of figuring out which colour you saw at the tea party last evening. More still, you can share colour names and codes via sms, e-mail, whatsapp, viber, facebook or twitter and share the beauty of transformation.
In our amazing app you can browse various home interior and exterior images uploaded by Crown Paints and retrieve colour details by tapping on the desired area. Similarly, you can find colours from images in the phone gallery (furniture, cutlery, utensils e.t.c) as you retrieve them for colour and code identification. Don’t hesitate to save your favourite colours for future review (you heard me right).
This app is absolutely the one stop colour bank for all your colour needs.
