The Newest Technology: Bracelets

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
