Murph 0 Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 The kids are wanting Apple iWatches, or Samsung Galaxy Watches, and I have no idea what these things are. Any input? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ssnake 0 Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 They are, in essence, remote outlets and input devices for their smartphones. Like, you receive an email or a tweet from your favorite celebrity and you get a notification on your watch. Or you're navigating a foreign city with Google maps, and you get the directions shown on the watch. So, rather than having their faces glued to the smartphone, they'll have it glued to the watch. Plus, they usually also have sports functions such as a heartbeat sensor, so that you can share all your medical data with big, faceless corporations which, I'm sure, will take good care of them. I may be a tad prejudiced, though. And I have to admit, I can see some of the benefits that they offer. If you're willing to expose all of your private life to Google or Apple, I suppose denuding yourself a bit more only makes a gradual difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
