What impact have smartphones had on society? How will wearable technology alter our relationship with our devices?

Smartphones are something that almost every single person has in this world. They are almost a part of life now - a necessity. The impact they are causing in society is immense, both in a good way and a bad way. Some people believe that technology like smartphones is simply doing them a favor. They say it helps them connect with their friends and family far away, and it can also help students living far away still be able to participate in online classes without any burden. However, others believe that these benefits can only go so far. Using smartphones can damage people’s eyesight, and even lead to them seeing things that are not appropriate on the internet; this is especially a problem for younger children. The latest development is wearable technology, which is any kind of electronic device designed to be worn on the user's body. In the future, when wearable technology will become more advanced, there could be even more mixed reactions towards it. This has led many people to ask how wearable technology will alter our relationship with our devices.

First of all, one’s health can be affected by wearable devices. Nowadays, even watches, such as an Apple Watch, can track people’s health just by a simple tap on the screen. For example, one day, if you decided to exercise, the fitness trackers would allow you to monitor your workouts, heart rates, and all of the general health-related things. This can help your body a lot since you can check how you’ve been doing throughout the whole day. If in the future, it can be used as a full health tracker, it could bring a great benefit to society. Some people might ask why. It is because just by a simple tap, the citizens can check the health of their body if they're worried about it. They won’t have to travel far away just to check their health if they just have the wearable devices. It would reduce the amount of time that they would waste if the case wasn’t that serious at all. So, overall, that is the first reason why wearable technology would alter our relationship with our devices.

Also, there could be more personalized interactions. Sometimes, it is hard to find the right exercises, workouts, or even the right food for our body. However, wearable technology can change this easily. Wearable technology will be on the part of one’s body for most cases. This means that it can gather information and data from us as well. If we just use the item correctly, we can use the tips they give us to carry out a more healthier lifestyle. Others may argue that there could be a privacy leak if we use them. However, these days, technology is getting more stable and stronger, so there is a very low chance there would be a leak. Also, the people using it won’t be giving all of the important details, just minor details such as how much they weigh and how many times they exercise in a week. As you can see from here wearable technology is a key material to help improve our community.

In closing, even if some people will argue that wearable technology won’t be the best idea for humans, wearable technology will definitely enhance the future and our relationship with our devices as well. I believe that it is a good idea and the future will be bright with all the wearable technologies available.
