Everything is moving to our phones and tablets. Two different alarm systems in the house, both controlled by the iPhone or iPad.
I don’t have but doors, locks, Nest thermostat and smoke detector. blinds, lighting, music…on and on and on, soon the microwave and stove, one day the phone will walk the dog…One of the items in a recent Shark Tank that got all the group to invest were two models of drones, the neatest one was one that was completely controlled by an iPhone, in fact the phone BECAME the brains that ran the drone…. Medical devices are being utilized through the iPhones….this is an exciting time…. I am enjoying the Apple Watch with ApplePay, I go to accepted stores more often just so I can use the Watch and observe folks around me….it’s a hoot. Paid for my first prescription and the Pharmacist watched in amazement saying he had never seen that before and he loved it. Went to my Cardiologist for the annual checkup and he became so interested in the watch he said he was going to go out and get one. Yesterday my wife and I made a purchase at Walgreens, went outside, we talking before we went our separate ways, the girl behind me walked out and darn near bent over trying to look at my wrist to see what in the heck I had that could pay for the merchandise. Went to Meijer, the guy beside me got so close we could have both worn the same belt…he couldn’t understand what I was doing, the guy behind him was also watching, the clerk said “COOL”…. Trying to spread the word and as technology advances I am guessing we will control our home devises with our wearables…. Like Lee said, it’s really the best, most everything controlled with one devise that we hardly ever lose. > On Nov 5, 2015, at 2:59 PM, Lee Larson <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Nov 5, 2015, at 12:14 PM, Richard D.
