smart watches

smart glasses

& a smart device which tells your doctor how you're doing

my thoughts: must listen to radio programme

We seem to have lost the need to listen to radio, so many other things to occupy our busy lifestyles now.:smileysad:

Hi @Anonymous


Thank you for sharing what you've heard.

Yes it does seem that wearables such as SmartWatches are becoming more popular , although the price tags of £200+ are a little unpalatable!

The only smart glasses I've seen thus far are GoogleGlass but again due to high cost and limited use its looking like a lemon.

In respect to my choice of phone Apple have provided an App called 'Health'.

When coupled with other apps it tells you all kinds of medical stats , how many steps you've taken and how many flights of stairs you've climbed etc. Some in America say some apps sends info to your Dr's directly so they can keep an eye on you remotely !

Take care. 😄

OK @Beenherebefore ..... I accept the 'kick up the bum' in the spirit in which it was intended 

I do green quite well thank you very much eg ..... recycling the home paper/plastic+metal+glass/unwanted personal or household items to local charity shops in Skipton, particularly Martin House Hospice ..... I cannot multi-task at anything nowadays ..... = ..... or I do no job well & all of the jobs badly  ..... I need to 'look' at instructions on paper in my hand then apply them to my laptop screen (I cannot no-more write for very long due to lack of dexterity in my hands) ..... I don't green with envy ever ..... there are many shades of green (the colour of nature imho) & I luv/wear them all

see you in Wanty's beenherebefore ..... I'll buy you a beer  & some pork scratchings 

WispaRed7  the sky has never been the limit, we are our own limits, it's then about breaking our own personal limits & outgrowing ourselves to live our best lives
