Technology & the Digital World ď‚—
We are fully submersed into the digital space
ď‚—
We tend to rely completely on varied forms of technology, each of which has its own pros and cons.

Technology has been woven into our lives almost inseparably and seamlessly and hence, when it comes to living a life without technology, it is tough to imagine.
Wearable Technology – An Introduction
One such arena which is a rage today and a must in everybody’s life is the wearable technology.
From technology giants like Google, Microsoft to Apple and many more, this innovative technological feature has created a prime reason for consumers to be synced with technology
But, it is wise to understand how much of it is advantageous and how much of it is overboard.
Wearable Technology – An Introduction (contd.)
Going beyond the Mobile phones, with a variety of devices like Smart Watches, Glasses, Badges or Shoes, our lives are touched and influenced by these gadgets.
Of course, there exists a lot of betterment but with a tint of warnings and caution, which surely cannot be ruled out.
Wearable Devices –their Strengths and Weaknesses
Wearable Devices – Strengths
These wearable devices like Glasses and Watches are turning out to be a boon for end users.
They have mini computers which can be worn on face (glasses) and on the wrist (watch or badge).
There are a lot of companies who are keen to manufacture and market such devices and there are numerous marketing strategies to ensure these devices reach out to common people and provide them the benefit that is envisaged out of them.

Reaching out to different sectors like the health, sales & distribution, pharmacy and so on, these devices start becoming your assistants taking up your routine jobs like paying your bills, measuring your water intake, your body temperature, your car speed and much more.
Not only manufacturing these devices, what is more important is for software solution providers to develop apps which can act as a seamless interface between you and your wearable to serve the purpose for which they have been purchased.
Wearable Devices – Weaknesses
But, what happens is that any technology that is popular and pushing the boundaries of human intervention is bound to have its share of weak areas or negativity built in.
Of course, we need not pull ourselves back by restricting our use of wearable devices but at least, we can be aware of what can go wrong and how it can be avoided.
There has to be a boundary line sketched to identify the amount of personal information which can be shared and the one which shouldn’t be.
Wearable Devices – Weaknesses (contd.)
It is not essential that since technology rules the globe, it has the authority to access any of your personal information.
That needs to be stopped and should be done intelligently so as to avail the latest technological trends and at the same time, not cross your limits.
Since these wearable devices turn out to be petite, it becomes tough to operate them for detailing tasks like browsing the internet etc.
Wearable Devices – Weaknesses (contd.)
Also, one thing is for sure: these wearable devices cannot replace smart-phones in many ways. ◦ Will you be able to write a detailed email through a smart watch or will you be able to operate a keyboard through it? ◦ In case of making a phone call through your contacts, a smart phone comes out to be much more convenient. ◦ Such devices are meant for specific purposes but cannot cover up all the functionalities that smart phones do.
Wearable Devices – Weaknesses (contd.)
And, till the time these devices don’t make a place for themselves in the industry, they will be considered as possible intruders into anyone’s life and hence there has to be a certain amount of caution to be maintained always.
It is popularly said that ‘He who wants the rose should respect the thorn’.
Regardless of these disadvantages, this notable technology is sure to create its own set of popularity waves in the industry.
