Wearables, from fitness trackers to smartwatches, are increasingly becoming a part of our daily lives. They are impacting us in various ways.
Using wearables can have several positive effects on your life.
Wearables can track our physical activity, sleep patterns, and even physiological data. This data can motivate us to be more active, set and track fitness goals, and gain valuable insights into our overall health.
Wearables offer features like contactless payments, controlling smart home devices, receiving notifications, and replying to messages all from our wrists.
Some wearables offer features like fall detection, emergency SOS calls, and location tracking, providing a sense of security, especially for seniors or individuals venturing out alone.
However, using wearables daily can also have some negative impact on us.
Wearables collect a vast amount of personal data, raising concerns about data security and potential misuse by companies or even governments.
Constant connectivity through wearables can lead to tech addiction, impacting mental well-being and causing anxiety if one feels disconnected from the device.
While wearables provide valuable information, their data may not always be accurate, especially for complex health metrics.
