Have you noticed that
Dick Tracy, Inspector Gadget and James Bond had one special thing in common?
Any guesses?................
Yes, a watch that doubled as a computer, two-way radio,
mapping device or television.

| The Future Smart Watch |
This device was only a
reality in science fiction comics and spy movies But, this “smart watch” might
soon become a reality, in the form of a curved glass device made by Apple. At
present, Apple is experimenting with wristwatch-like devices made of curved
glass, according to inside news from Apple Corporation, such a watch would
operate on Apple's iOS platform and stand apart from competitors based on the
company's understanding of how such glass can curve around the human body.
Apple declining to
comment on this new product, but this arouses the curiosity among people for
sure; If the company does release such a product,
What would it look like?
Would it include Siri,
the voice assistant?
Would it have Apple's
map software, offering real-time directions to people
walking down the street?
Would it include hi-res color display (Retina Display?)
Could it
receive text messages?
Could it
monitor a user's health or daily activity?
How much
will it cost?
And, could
Timothy D. Cook, Apple's chief executive, be wearing one right now, whispering to
his wrist to get some things done?
Though it is
hard to say when Apple will unveil this new product, but sure that they have
the technology and capability to do it.
Last year, the
makers of the ultra-tough Gorilla Glass which is used in the iPhone, announced
that it had solved the difficult engineering challenge of creating bendable glass,
called Willow Glass, that can flop
as easily as a piece of paper without breaking.And according to them, this type of glass
can certainly be wrapped around a cylindrical object and that could be
someone's wrist.
If
smartphones ultimately do become smart watches and smart glasses, Apple seems
to have the technology to make standout wearable computers which will be a
great win for them over the other tech-giants all over the world like Samsung
or Sony.
So it seems
like Apple is on the verge of designing a smart way to be on time. Are you
ready to be punctual smartly?
