Wearable Tech!
apparently its the next big thing!
We've seen the rise of the Smart Watch, we've seen the Fitness Smart Wristbands, we've even seen Google Glass(es) make its debut! who can tell what else will appear in the coming months? My question to you, and what I'm going to focus on in this blog, is the practicality of such wearable technology!
Lets talk about functionality.
From what I've been seeing and reading on smart-watches (such as the Galaxy Gear and Pebble Smart-watch), its major functions are focused on notifications.
Whether it be from Facebook/Twitter or maybe a text message/email. your perspective watch will alert you and possibly give you a small preview of what you received, and I'm guessing the preview if for you to determine if you need to take the time to take your phone out of your pocket/purse/bag or not.
Lol. (Pause to laugh with me...)
Moving On....
I can definitely see the advantage of answering phone calls or maybe taking a quick snapshot of something you want to remember when you may or may not have enough time to pull your phone out. I can also see advantage of your phone automatically locking as your smart watch gains distance from your phone. Both are qualities of the Samsung Galaxy Gear. While the Pebble smart-watch is a more limited adaptation of such functionality (minus the ability to answer calls and take pictures), it holds up the standard on notifications and will indeed let you know when something is up in your social world.
Naturally I find features, such as the listed above, to be more than amazing. Practical or not. I just like impressive technology. and I find the idea of wearable technology (wrist bands, watches, glasses) to be more than amazing in every aspect..
Oh i almost forgot about Google Glass...
