Wearable Technology

 As the years come and go technology has continued to grow and make lives easier and much lazier for individuals. Based on the article "Wearable Technology Creeps into the Workplace" technology has formed Microchips that are planted in the skin to have easier access to work areas instead of the use of keys and cards. This article discusses a system that is used to back up power on wearable devices, for examples a wearable bracelet keeps track of  employees movement and health, helping companies keep track of their employee's health insurance policy. Then there is the "Smart Cap", to help truck drivers stay awake on the road. The cap has a sensor which alarms the driver when they are falling asleep. Although their priority is to keep individuals safe their is no privacy when it comes to making these wearable devices. Every device holds a chip that can track where individuals location just as much as holding information that should lead back to someone.
 
Now that we have phones that also keep us out off society and into the world of Web and media, Androids have came up with a watch as well. The watch resembles the Apple watch, answers messages, calls and app calls. As it also updates its apps, it makes it easier to respond from the watch, but does not let you see of speak through the watch. I don't think I would want a wearable device because I think having my phone on me at all times is good enough; besides I don't like watches all that much. I also don't want other ways that the government hackers can get information about myself.
