Mobile Widgets As Social Differentiators In The 21st Century
In a world that increasingly features services and products that seem to reward consistency and conformity, such as mobile widgets, each individual is striving to find new ways to express their individuality and stand out from the crowd.
The increasing ‘Americanisation’ of the retail industry and the ubiquitous presence of the global brand have made this search for individuality that much more challenging. Observing any group of so called ‘tweens’ will quickly reveal similarities in dress and modes of speech and action, to the casual, if older observer these groupings seem to celebrate conformity while shunning individuality.
The reality within these groups is, however, very different as each individual strives to stand out from the masses. One of the ways to achieve this individuality is increasingly to use technology as proof that all individuality has not been lost to the global brand. Cellular telephone covers and the increasing use of different ‘apps’ are only some of the ways that the individual can stand out from the crowd. Another is through the use of mobile widgets. Mobile widgets allow the individual to customise their cellular telephone in a way that allows even users of similar handsets to stand out from the crowd.
Today mobile widgets are available for either a nominal fee or for free from several sources, including mobile websites and the internet itself. These widgets are used to promote events, express emotions or alternatively to promote that ever elusive feeling of individuality that is today as important as it was for previous generations.
This continual conflict between striving to be part of the group and fit in, while at the same time wanting to ‘stand out from the crowd’ makes for a fascinating social dynamic where technology is increasingly becoming a tool to separate the individual from the crowd. Those companies making use of mobile widgets for marketing purposes are aware of their importance in various sub cultures of South African society and have become adroit in taking advantage of this fact.
