Note: This post originally appeared on The Disruption Institute blog

How much time do you spend per day on your phone?

The average U.S. consumer spends over 3 hours inside apps each day.

Stats aside, all you need to do is look around you in any public setting and see that many are immersed in this little screen we hold in the palm of our hand.

Mobile has fundamentally accelerated how we connect, interact and do business…and it will continue to do so.

What does that mean? Lots of opportunities to build app ideas and start new direction in your career.
