Wearables as the Potential Future

     Apple has recently completed their World Wide Developers Conference with no wearable device or watch being revealed to the public like what was expected. However, the software being released in the fall has hinted to the potential of an iWatch in the near future. As we learned in class, connections to the internet and social media is becoming extraordinarily easier to access. With the new potential addition of wearables, people wouldn't even need to spend take their phones out of their pockets. It is already convenient enough to be able to retrieve all that information from your phone. Now with the addition of being able to just look at your watch, I think it is getting to the point of being to consuming in our lives. In the case of Google Glass, you would be wearing this technology constantly, receiving notifications all the time. It takes the concept a step further. I personally don't like the technology coming out because it is becoming a little to unnecessary to have content being delivered at the instant it happens. People should be living their lives with the people right in front of them. I am scared the world is going to turn to be virtual reality reliant. We would just camp out inside and avoid the things happening in the real world in exchange for a fictional one.

  1. These devices can truly become a part of everyday life, should their potential be utilized by the companies creating them. There are many potential scary aspects of such a device though such as the ones you mentioned, but unfortunately, in a world where time is money and money rules all, these devices could allow people to maximize their productivity and make them necessary for many people
