It's 2015, and technology is sharper than ever. Especially now, you can see technology just by looking at someone's wrist. We have Apple Watch, FitBit, and even in Walt Disney World, you have magic bands! As technology is continuing to improve we are seeing more and more health-related devices. Most recently, there has been a vast improvement in wearable devices and remote monitoring, meaning these small wearable devices are improving health outcomes of many individuals.
There was recently a study with an upcoming technology where a wearable device non-invasively tracked the health of patients with serious cardiac conditions. The use of what is practically a bracelet has improved the health and wellness of many individuals. It will be interesting to see how these wearable devices will impact the future.
Another very popular and upcoming wearable device is the Apple Watch. The apple watch has credit cards, music, and much more in this wearable device. Now when people go out, all they need is their watch and they can pay for whatever. No wallet, no purse, just a watch. It is very interesting to see people just tapping their watch instead of swiping their card. Apple has been working on this wearable device for some time now to fulfill everything someone will need throughout the day.
The latest technology of wearable devices is now a part of The Walt Disney Corporation as well. Now, when you book a vacation with The Walt Disney World Parks and resorts, or Disney Land Parks and Resorts, you will receive "Magic Bands" before your arrival or at your check in. Magic bands work as your resort room key, your park tickets, your reservations for dinner, your fastpasses for the rides or character meet and greets, and you can also add a credit card and meal plan on it! Anywhere you go in Disney World, all you will need is the magic band on your wrist! You simply scan the band, and you are good to go! Everything is monitored by the "My Disney Experience" app, you can see everything that is connected to your band on your phone as well.
While technology continues to only improve, it will be interesting to see where the wearable devices end up. I believe they will continue to be necessary, especially in the health field. I will be especially interested to see where they improve in the everyday lifestyle. How they will effect our everyday lives, and will they take over to where we will not need a physical credit card? I suppose only the future will tell.
