Water is a pretty important part of our existence as humans. In case you hadn't heard, up to [90% of our body weight comes from water](http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/propertyyou.html). Each day humans must consume a certain amount of water to survive, a universal fact understood by most with the exception of app users.  It's hard to imagine but the [2013 Mobile App Behavior Survey produced by Apigee](https://blog.apigee.com/detail/cant_go_a_day_without_your_critical_mobile_apps_youre_in_good_company_infographic) showed that 85% of users would rather give up drinking water than delete all their apps!

In 2013, smartphone growth raced ahead at a [record pace](http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9243619/Smartphone_growth_still_racing_ahead_at_record_pace).  Worldwide there are [6.8 billion mobile subscribers](http://mobithinking.com/mobile-marketing-tools/latest-mobile-stats/a). Gartner's predictions for [2014 shows mobile technologies trending.](http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/2603623)
