Limitations
• Validity of statements• It’s only limited to people who
actually own a smartphone• Region– Not all places have access to
internet/apps on their phone
• Finances– Not everyone can afford a smartphone

Limitations
• Sources of Error– Misunderstanding of what some people
meant in what they “said”– People’s attitudes towards smartphones
• Some people are more excited about it than others
• Precautions– Recording of interviews– Try to interview people that “wanted” to be
interviewed• Enthusiastic people

The Next Step
• Currently– Word of mouth advertising
• Advertisements– Commercials, text messages, advertising
through applications
• Differentiation – Something totally new rather than building
onto something that already exists• Instagram is something built from other photo
editing apps
