“Disruptive technology doesn’t come along often, and is often initially dismissed because it’s easy to ignore something you’ve lived an entire life without. But every once in a while a bit of tech comes along that makes it easier to do what you’re already doing,” Michael deAgonia writes for Computerworld. “This is the Apple Watch.”
“The Watch is clearly the type of product that grows on you. I’m still using my iPhone; the Watch hasn’t made it obsolete, especially because it relies on the phone for so much backend work. But when I pull the iPhone out, it’s for different reasons now,” deAgonia writes. “I can quickly respond to texts, control music, check my calendar for upcoming events, track packages, check on the order status of Apple Store purchases, and get directions via the Watch without getting sucked into other apps — which happens when I pick up the iPhone. This is a big deal for me. The iPhone, with all it can do, is a gigantic time-suck, and it’s easy to fall into the trap.”
“Two years ago I figured if an Apple Watch were ever released, it would be because Apple leaders were confident of its impact. I said then that I’d have to see it to believe it,” deAgonia writes. “Well, I’ve seen it, I’ve used it, and I’m a believer: Despite the first-generation problems, you can have my Watch after you pry it from my cold, dead wrist.”
