Time to be a nerd... An Apple Prediction

Though I may not have posted this before, let me say that I am a nerd. A geek. A techie. A mac-addict. A gadget man. I love me some technology! Having said that, let me proceed with my thoughts regarding the recent WWDC.

Apple said a lot regarding Continuity, iOS and the Mac OS. All good stuff to keep their products interconnected with the ability to throw a phone call, message, webpage etc, amongst iDevices and traditional computers. What wasn't brought up or introduced was any new hardware. Some have wondered why, others are still going over the presentation. What has occurred to me is that the rumored "iWatch" / Apple Wearable device isn't simply going to be a smartwatch/wearable. This device is going to be an alternative to the iPhone. It will be the wearable connected device that will provide the internet connectivity, allowing it to do all the fun stuff Apple has stated. For some, no more fumbling with your phone, just fling it from your wrist to your iPad, iPad Mini, MBP or iMac.
Your Apple wearable is now the gateway for all of your other devices. If you're a watch wearer you'll never lose this, there will be no "butt dialing",  no chance of people shuffling through your stuff or any other intrusion that happens with smartphones and tablets just laying around. The gatekeeper is going to be on your wrist.

If this happens the way I've envisioned it, this will be the twist that no other manufacturer has foreseen. And if executed in true Apple style there will be a lot of naysayers and dropped jaws in the near future. This is going to flip the mobile market on its head!

I can't wait to see what happens!

To the good people...

The other day as I was on my way to work, a lady that travels that same path smiled and waved as she drove past me. It's not the first time and probably not the last time that this will happen. We've never actually met in person but each day she drives past me, she smiles and waves.  She might be interested in me or she's just friendly but each morning that she does this is a good thing. Why? Because she doesn't have to do this. She could drive past me and not think twice but she does. It give me a little hope that people are not as bad as the news would have us believe. I know that there are bad people in the world but there are good people as well. Those are the people who pluck their neighbors newspaper out of the rain and put it in front of your doorstep. Those are the people who give a penny instead of take a penny. Those are the people who help others, instead of complaining  about the human condition. Those are the people who make a difference without the news cameras in their face or the editorial piece written in they honor.  Those are the everyday people who simply do what they think is right or are just being good people.  I love those people! I was one of them a long time ago. It's a damn shame that the world can't appreciate those kind of people, we would all be better off if they were around more often.
Peace to anyone who reads this. Try to be a good person once a week. It might do you some good.
