On Friday, we discussed a new development in the world of smartwatch technology. Today, we’re going to ask a pertinent question regarding that: why? Why are we going to bother with a whole other gadget that interfaces with a gadget that we already possess? The phone already sends notifications, runs apps, plays music, and takes calls. A normal watch tells time, as does the phone. It’s cool that these things have been combined, I just don’t understand why. On the other hand, combining a camera, cell phone, and iPod created the most successful single device of the last decade.

However, I don’t see the smartwatch becoming the next iPhone. But that’s just me.

What Sparks Our Fire: Being fully abreast of the developments in the tech world, workable and otherwise.

Do you think that smartwatches are worth the time?
