Way back when I was a young nerd, the first electronic gadget I owned was a digital LED watch. These were the first digital watches from before the rise of LCD displays. You had to press a button to make the time light up in the form of menacingly red digits—having the time displayed continuously would have taken too much power. Several LCD watches followed during the 1980s, but my watch-wearing days came to an abrupt end when I got my first cell phone.
However, with the advent of the Pebble smart watch and all the iWatch rumors, I can see myself wearing a watch again in the near future. Maybe not all day every day, but certainly when on the go, so I can keep my iPhone tucked away safely but still interact with my digital life.
