EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Mobile devices have started to dominate the world of information technology. Today almost half the people on this planet use mobile devices. The popularity of mobile devices has made the IT industry attracted towards mobile database management which helps users to connect to the database from anywhere and anytime, which was impossible with the traditional database system.
It is still confusing to understand what a mobile database really is so this paper tries to explain what mobile database is. The paper begins with explaining why mobile database has gained popularity and what are its features that has attracted so much attention from the business industry. The paper also explains the requirement for a database to be considered a mobile database. The paper also discusses about some of the currently in use mobile databases in the market. it also looks into some of the issues that arise with mobile database.

A database management system, or DBMS, gives the user access to their data and helps them transform the data into information. Such database management systems include dBase, Paradox, IMS, and Oracle. These systems allow users to create, update, and extract information from their databases. Compared to a manual filing system, the biggest advantages to a computerized database system are speed, accuracy, and accessibility.
Many people in today’s society rely on technology to help us with our daily lives and help us stay connected to family, friends, and other people. The advancements in today’s cell phone technology is very complex and made to be efficient for their owners, allowing them to surf the net and IM message people instantly. Cellphones in particular have developed very fast in the past 15 years. From my childhood, cell phones have evolved from the old school Nokia bricks that allowed texts, calls, and simple graphic games, to todays I-Phones that have higher computable capabilities than some computers. In the United States alone, there is an estimated population of around 297 million people, and 197 million people are subscribed to cell phone companies (Starr). With so many people in today’s society with so much power and opportunity in the palm of their hands, we shouldn’t forget that “With great power comes great responsibility” –Voltaire.
Have you ever looked around at society and realized just how much of an impact to our daily lives that a smart phone has? In 2015 Nielsen group reported that ever four out of five phones purchase is a smart phone(www.govtech). Technology grows more with each passing day. Personal Computers range in sizes from desktops to smart phones. Among one of the smallest and newest personal computers is the smart phone which was created in 2007 (www.govtech.com). A Smart phone is a device that allows you to use it as a cell phone and a personal computer in one. This new size of a person comport also connects you to the internet and to social media. The ability of being mobile has impacted the growth of

Databases are becoming as common in the workplace as the stapler. Businesses use databases to keep track of payroll, vacations, inventory, and a multitude of other taske of which are to vast to mention here. Basically businesses use databases anytime a large amount of data must be stored in such a manor that it can easily be searched, categorized and recalled in different means that can be easily read and understood by the end user. Databases are used extensively where I work. In fact, since Hyperion Solutions is a database and financial intelligence software developing company we produce one. To keep the material within scope I shall narrow the use of databases down to what we use just in the Orlando office of Hyperion Solutions alone.
Since the invention of the cell phones, in 1973, it has quickly become the most popular device used especially today during the twenty-first century. Due to its hands-free-easy-to-use design, the amount of people that own a cell phone is rapidly increasing. The useful text messaging feature has proved to be extremely useful in current times. Along with these helpful features, the cell phone is easily accessible and more portable. The majority of phone companies offer a 3G or 4G data plan, meaning internet access can be found on your phone almost anywhere, at any time. In addition to its easy portability, the cell phone is a very useful and helpful device, allowing one to stay connected to the outer world. “With a smartphone, you can connect to the Web from virtually anywhere.

The database application design can be improved in a number of ways as described below:
Cellphones have become the “norm” in our society. Almost everyone has a cellphone, more commonly a smartphone. Smartphones allow their users to vast amounts of information right at ones fingertips. Smartphones also allow the user to communicate instantaiously with their closest friends and loved ones through calling, text messaging, and various forms of social media. Smartphones have become apart of our daily lives and us, from the work place to classroom.
Mobile phones are also easy to carry around thus completely stress free. Any person in the Web Design business can carry out their business in the easiest way possible and in the comforts of their living rooms, study section, bed and restrooms. One does not need to possess a desk or have an office when conducting Web Design business while using a mobile phone, it’s practically stress free and devoid of many challenges that are facing business people today.
The world today is a result of centuries of evolution; one of the major adaptations is technology, specifically the invention of the smartphone. The smartphone is a cellular phone that has the capabilities of performing similar functions to that of a computer (Oxford Dictionaries’ online dictionary, n.d.). The smartphone is owned by youth for the most part; however, adults and seniors are also turning toward using this device. This in turn demonstrates the popularity of this marvelous device, and is the reason why it is constantly monitored by its users. The continuous evolving of the populations' wants and needs such as communication, searching of information, entertainment and recording, makes owning a smartphone essential, and beneficial as it is portable, reliable and efficient.
We know the ‘PC era’ is replaced by a ‘Smart-phone’ era, when we see almost every hand holding on to a smart-phone these days. The PC sales have persistently nose-dived, ever since the users were introduced to the smart-phones and their advanced capabilities. Smart-phones being less expensive and more convenient when compared to the clunky desktop computers, almost immediately became striking alternatives to access the Internet anywhere, anytime.
Mobile usage has proliferated in recent years. Areas all over the world have enjoyed the rapid development and high penetration of mobile devices. This popular trend has developed for so many reasons and has a lot to say about us.
The Database Management System (DBMS) is software that enables the users to define, create, maintain and control the access to the database. It is a software that interact with the user’s applications programs and it database. Meanwhile, information retrieval system is a system that involved the activity that the systems obtain the information. The obtaining information action need the information from it resources.
In our world, people rely heavily on the power of technology every day. Kids are learning how to operate an iPad before they can even say their first word. School assignments have become virtual, making it possible to do anywhere in the world. We can receive information from across the world in less than a second with the touch of a button. Technology is a big part of our lives, and without it life just becomes a lot harder. Just like our phones have such an importance to us in our daily lives, database management systems are the same for businesses. Without this important software, it would be almost impossible for companies to complete simple daily tasks with such ease.
Nowadays mobile technology has become the most important part of human life. People in their daily spend more than 12 hours a day. Mobile technology become more helpful, it has many Applications, or APPS such as WhatsApp, BBM and other social applications make people life easy to communicating with other people .The reason behind choosing this topic is I have seen that my friends are addicted with their mobile phones, so I was interested to find out more about this topic and also because it's important to me. This report includes two stages the survey findings and research findings. The results show that 44 out of 54 agreed with that the mobile phones make their world seem like an insignificant village. This report will discuss the survey findings and research findings.
