There is an ever-increasing push for consumers to support local businesses, culminating in the “Choose Local” movement and the growing popularity of Small Business Saturday. Technology has done well to keep up in two major ways. Firstly, the ability to maintain an online presence and allow customers to support local companies on the Internet is becoming much easier and less costly. Secondly, apps working with local businesses to offer customers delivery as a secondhand partner of sorts are quickly increasing in number. WeDeliver is one such app that has extended its services. Formerly, it allowed users to pay a little extra to let someone deliver what they wanted to them from local stores. The app helped local vendors compete with retail giants by allowing for same-day delivery. With the Launch of Locally, WeDeliver now offers the same service while allowing any store using it to offer its customers a full online marketplace as well.

While our technology is smaller, sleeker, and more compact than ever before, it is also more delicate. Many people with smartphones have faced a broken Home or Power button on their mobile devices, which is why Assistive Touch was developed.
