There are apps that will allow you to log into your home computer from anywhere in the world, shop at one store while you’re in line at another,  and even pay your bills while out at dinner. Multi-tasking and problem solving with the aid of an iPhone has become a way of life for millions of people around the world.

3)      They teach us – There are iPhone apps for learning foreign languages, elevating your higher brain functions, and figuring out geometry.
