Smart Watches- A Revolution

Smart Watches are a revelation when it comes to the field of smart watches. My exposure to, and adoption of, technology over the years has varied greatly.I first learned programming on an Atari 800 (yes, that company used to make personal computers) in 3rd grade, instructing a turtle to move around the screen.At the opposite end of the spectrum is my first car, where dual-zone climate control was achieved by opening the vent on the passenger side; a task done by pulling a little lever by your feet.
But throughout my life, technology has been very comfortable to me, and at any time I always wanted to include it in my life.I had an iPod, cell phone, and PDA, and when the iPhone 3G came out I determined I could finally merge all of these devices into one device, simplifying my life and allowing for more integration of technology into my life.And the approach I took when I purchased the iPhone is really the way that I look at technology: will this change in technology make my life easier?
Why Smart Watches are important?
So when the Apple Watch was released by Apple in early 2015, I did not immediately rush out to get one, even though I did think it was pretty cool.I have a nice analog watch, and I have an iPhone, and so as before I looked at it from the perspective of how can this device make my life easier?While the iPhone 3G consolidated a few pieces of technology, my initial perception was that the watch would just replace one item with another. So, I held off on purchasing an Apple Smart Watch for the time being.One of my coworkers, however, did get one initially, but determined it was not helpful for him.


So I asked him if I could borrow it for a few weeks, to try it out and see if I liked it and if it could be a helpful device. As it turns out, it really is helpful for me…I was hooked, and I bought it.
