It’s getting cold and so I’m fumbling with my phone and other devices.
I like the idea of a large screen on my forearm, but I’m not sure how it would work.
I see some company tried in 2014 and probably didn’t get anywhere (see Arubixs Portal), and there was that infamous Kickstarter too
I want a watch that does all of the things a laptop and a cell phone could through peripheral devices that connect to the watch wirelessly and operate as things like laptops, phones, televisions, w/e else. The “phone” part is just a touchscreen that operates off of the watch. Same for the “laptop”; just a screen and keyboard that connects to the watch. These things do not /cannot operate without the watch being present, and don’t store any data themselves. Any screen or laptop can connect to any watch (with a secure pairing), meaning screens can be loaned and shared between watch owners without the same fears one might have letting someone else borrow, or even hold your phone.
I guess I don’t want less devices. Just a consolidation of all my computational power (save for servers, i guess) into one portable, connectable (castable?) device. No more carrying around my cell phone and laptop if everything is on my wrist and I can just use any cheap / borrowed/ community “laptop” or “phone” wherever I go and still access everything I need.
Anything that let’s me output 4 bytes per second without using my hands. OK, whatever, 2 bytes!
I still think a google glass for people that do wear glasses would be great, I already spend the entire day with this dumb thing in front of my eyes, would be great if it was smart too. The problem is that they marketed glasses for people that don’t need it.

But $240 is really steep
It sucks no matter how much you paid for it.
