Emerging technologies

The Pebble Watch
The Smart watch or pebble watch was created, by a 26 year old Canadian named Migicovsky, to do as little as possible so it wouldn't completely take over the smart phone. The pebble watch came out one month before Google glasses, Google glasses is trying to eliminate smart phones altogether. This watch has a black and white screen to save battery and can only run small apps so the phone can run the larger apps. Migicovsky made $100,000 in 2012 to help his product make it to the market later in 2013. The pebble is $150 and can play music and store pictures. What surprises me the most is how much money his kick starter campaign made.

The smart and social TV was emerging in 2010 and is now used by many people.
