The technology now a days is advancing at a speed that is almost hard to keep up with. It seems like there is always “something new” out in the stores or being marketed. Quite frankly it is very annoying; however it has become the norm to have what is new and that is why smart watches are going to be the next big thing in technology.

Wearing watches is dying out because everyone has phones that can tell you the time so there is really no need to have a watch. This is where the idea of the combination between technology and watches come into play. I know this sounds a little absurd, but journalist are saying that smart watches are the next big thing after tablets, and there is a run among companies around the world to stake a claim in this promising new industry.

There are many reasons why someone would find smart watches useful. One reason is that it would mean pulling out your phone less to check the time and finding oneself sucked into checking apps. We’re all guilty of this kind of behaviour which is partially a symptom of not having any other way to tell the time as watches fade from utility into more of a fashion accessory.

Another reason is that the wrist knows you: future smart watches will know what you are doing, your health status, emotional state, and various types of other information. As the generations continue to support the ideas of smart watches, they are predestinated to become smarter. Combined with web services, they will enable applications we can’t even dream of now.
