I know that mental health wearables are typically smart-watches, headphones, fit-bits, and the like—they serve some owners well—but why not a sort of neo-old-school option? This analog social battery button brings some levity to the room but, let's be honest, it might be a decent emotional regulation option before the robots take over become even more sophisticated to our, er, benefit (?) at least as some folks insist.
Apparently, future iterations of AI connected wearables will apparently use real-time data (sleep, heart-rate, etc.) for crisis prediction. Whoa. I appreciate there could be some life-saving benefits, but I can't help but imagine what the billionaires will do with that data? Yikes. I'm no technophobe, but I think I'll stick to analog for now.
How 'bout you?
I want one of those battery pins; cool. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDelete...after all of these years getting along old school, I don't much reason to change.
ReplyDeleteThere used to be mood rings and bracelets. I only heard about social battery a few months ago - another daft idea to worry about.
ReplyDeleteI remember years ago, a friend of mine got an apple watch when they first came out. He told me that he had to have his phone on him to have the watch work. I thought to myself, "I certainly will never get a smart watch if I have to have my phone nearby." Now I have one, and I love it. It even can take an EKG!
ReplyDeleteI don't really trust the wearables; I worry they would give me false negative information and then my anxiety would be sky-high until I could go to a doctor. But that analog pin - THAT I would love to wear :D
