My technology of choice was smart phones. However, I chose to focus on Android because I wanted the analysis to have some focus to its form, as there is so much information out there to synthesize about “smart phones” in general. This was an organizational decision on my part, so the paper would have a unifying idea running through it. I thought that in doing this, I could research the spectrum of all things Android, including both the new defining features along with the vulnerabilities. I also wanted to make some comparisons to other operating systems and make the reader aware that some of the concerns for Android phones are not specific just to Android–they can be equally troublesome for other smart phones. I spoke to an audience that might be considering purchasing a new smart phone, an audience that might not be completely tech-savvy in their nature.
