No matter where you look, it’s almost impossible to see someone without a piece of wearable technology.
The digital age has sparked an explosion in the popularity of technology that you can wear all around the globe, but are these gizmos simply a cool fashion piece, or can they actually benefit our day to day lives?
Health and Fitness Benefits
One of the biggest industries who have jumped on the wearable technology bandwagon is the health and fitness industry. With the whole planet becoming more health conscious, these companies have devised a non-intrusive way of monitoring health and lifestyle.
The popularity of the wrist-based trackers has risen considerably, with more people investing more time into fitness regimes. These technologies also cater to the digital age further by connecting to smart devices such as a phone or a laptop to allow the user to visually monitor their progress.
Mobile Phones
With the introduction of the Apple Watch, it’s no wonder the world has gone technology mad.
The technology giant’s watch acts as an oversimplified iPhone. It allows the user to perform many of the tasks that they would be able to carry out on their iPhone without having the physical phone in their hand.
Being able to make calls and read messages without having to fumble for your phone may seem extremely lazy, but it’s an incredibly handy tool to have access to… especially if you lose your phone a lot as the Apple Watch also has a ping service that helps you locate your seemingly lost device.
Having everything that the generation of the digital age need in a small, less invasive technological interface keeps daily life simple and effective, as well as implementing new ways of doing things such as…
Wearable Technology as a Payment Options
Apple Pay is a brand new way of paying. We’ve all heard of contactless payments, and of course, Apple took it upon themselves to create an innovative way to use their Apple Watch product to pay for items in store.
Gemalto is another company who have implemented this payment technology, but in a form which is much closer to our hearts; a silicone wristband payment system. This surge in popularity for contactless payment has come about thanks to people wanting to remove the actual act of handing over money for ease during a transaction.
Many people have expressed how uncomfortable handing over money during a purchase can be, so this secure, quick and easy method of paying for items with your technology is becoming a more popular way to pay.
