It seems like every week there鈥檚 a new app that鈥檚 going viral.听Why听is it that the more people tell us that we have to download them, the less willing we are to give them a shot? Maybe it鈥檚 because even though every app promises to make life more fun, interesting or simple, they never really seem to solve any real problems. Below are a few apps that听might actually make a difference in the world. We'd be more than willing to shell out 99 cents for 听these...
1.
Think of how much time you鈥檇 save if you could skip reading the book and the movie?
2.
No one likes working out. Your friends that say they do are liars.
3.
Because sometimes we need a reminder of how far we鈥檝e come.
So even though none of these apps are real, they certainly could be!
This Sunday, 麻豆传媒映画will have its first ever , a software competition where local app developers and comedians come together to make new, ridiculous and completely hilarious apps within a 24 - 48 hour time period. Comedy 鈥渉ackathons鈥� in other cities have already produced some gems like , an app that disguises your online tabloid sites as New York Times articles, or , a math app that pulls data from Bureau of Labor Statistics, allowing you and your friends to split the cost of a meal in accordance to gender and racial income inequalities.
The weekend will culminate with an incredible comedy show at The Media Club where the best teams will present and demo their new creations to a panel of judges. Winners will be crowned, drinks will be poured and we'll听all be reminded that these apps will have no bearing on the world whatsoever鈥� But they鈥檙e sure make us laugh!
