| Have smart watches really improved daily life for the masses? I really don't think they have. We need real technology that saves labour, like washing machines, dishwashers, sewage processing, electricity grids. I think satellites can provide services that join that club, by allowing decentralization through ubiquitous access to medium speed internet. Smart watches tend to provide information that really doesn't matter, like number of steps in a day. Yes there is the example of the heartbeat, but for most that is just informational also, plus other dedicated devices already existed. I think too much of new tech are just toys, hopefully this is just an interim stage and we are about to get to the real stuff again. |
