With all the connectivity comes large social consequences. Walking around in todays society is like watching zombies. Everybody has their head down, just pacing at a good enough screen that they can seen the ground in front of them and shoot a quick text to their BFF jenny.

This is an Apple watch. It can do everything from notify you when you have meeting to direct you around the grocery store to get the proper food.
