From pocket watches to Apple watches

       Wearable technology... I don't think I would ever see the day that this would occur. That's something that you see in movies and TV shows (Cookie from Ned's Declassified School Survivor Guide, anyone?). I can't picture just searching the web from my glasses lens. 

       But, this really cool company called Adela Health has made this vest/t-shirt that you wear, called TruPosture, that can correct your posture! As a health geek, this is totally something that I would wear. Though, I will say, my biggest fear is that I'll wear something super technologically advanced and it would all of a sudden just burst into flames. Pretty irrational, but still. The company claims that is "a safe and natural way to improve your posture." It's super specific and can even detect 1/2 a degree of misalignment. While the vest is targeted for fixing office back problems, it can also be used while doing yoga or weightlifting. 

       I think that wearable technology will catch on in the health department, like the TruPosture. If you think about the pulse oximeter, people are technically already wearing technology. I, however, would not want to wear technology like Google glasses, or an Apple watch. I am very happy with using just a regular watch and wearing just regular glasses. I am so not ready to embrace this new wearable technology. And, if the Google glasses do catch on, how are school's going to regulate the use of them (like cheating or texting) especially when they look like regular glasses? I think the more advanced technology gets, the more problems that come along with it.
